Found it; knew it had to be Chinese:
The D120, spotted on Autoblog, looks a lot like a Hyundai Tiburon redesigned by someone on acid, is the Chinese automaker DongFeng's sports car shown at the Beijing Auto Show this past weekend. Don't be surprised if you've never heard of DongFeng Motor Co., or DFM, the company only produces vehicles in China, and actually ranks second out of the five Chinese automakers. They've built trucks and buses under their own name, but have also joined forces with other global carmakers such as Nissan, Honda and Peugeot to produce specific models of those brands in China.

Sadly, this DongFeng "sports car" is only powered with a 137-hp, 2.4-liter engine, making it just as slow as it looks. Translated by Google, the Autoblog Chinese post on the D120 gives more details about the features of the car, but the garbled Engrish doesn't make sense of this accordion-like structure on the hatch.
