Chinese cars....aka recycled JUNK

CivicWithNav · 01-17-2006, 11:19 PM

one example...called LANDWIND aka Isuzu Rodeo. whether they got permission from Isuzu is unknown but look at the crash test picture... it recieved ZERO score in Europe and since, it has been BANNED from Europe.

Chery Tiggo....or is it a RAV4??

hmm...nissan frontier???

these are only samples but other chinese automakers have copied numerous Japanese & Korean vehicles

Old news. They're also sold at anywhere from 1/3 to half of the price of the vehicles that they copy. Could you imagine where they would have to cut the corners to get a car at 1/2 the price of your current vehicle that looks similar?

The styling is mostly copied, but there are some unique cars also. Of course, a couple of years ago, Korean car manufacturers didn't have any style at all either. Now look, the Hyundai-Kia group has some vehicles that are easily recognizeable as being Hyundai or Kia. In a couple of generations, after they build enough profit, they too will start hiring designers to make their cars unique.

A lot of the ones ripped are Japanese vehicles. The Libao SRV is actually the CRV's long lost Chinese cousin. Honda also had a Chinese relative named Hongda... bwahahaa...

Haha a zero rating, that's hilarious. But companies copy each other all the time, just little pieces from different cars and we have a brand new car!

yeah but this car company copies EXACTLY and changes the bagding and grill

thats why there are law suits against chinese automakers ....

Wow. Apparently that car was going 40mph and it was that bad. So that means two cars going 20 mph hitting each other = death. Look at the Touareg for comparison.
