The difference is, if you get into a crash in RX you will be able to go to work tomorrow. If you crash in that thing, your relatives and close ones will always remember you

You know you've hit an all-time low when you're knocking off the Kia logo too.

The hilarious thing is that it's not an exact copy, so they still had to actually "design" the car despite drawing a very literal "inspiration" from the RX.

i think the door panel and the shift gate is a direct carry over.

i remember seeing one a while back with an azteck rear with an RX front.

Heeelarious!! Word, you couldn't have not said it any better. That's definitely some Canal Street doings right there. And trust me those things will sell like crazy.

I think this is good news, now hopefully the Chinese will make knock off Lambos, Ferraris, Porsches, etc so we can all own them for $10,000.

They'll probably be more reliable and cheaper to maintain, too.
