Honestly, i can't find the right words. I still have a hard time when someone is trying to get credit and earn money from someone's else hard work.

 

OP what is your question or observation surrounding these Chinese Clones? All you posted were pictures. Topic please. I feel its too vague and your thread will get closed because theres too many ways to look at this

 

i really don't see anything surprising here, that's what chinese have been doing for years?

 

Well at least they are honest about it...they set out to make clones and they gone and done it.

 

well , they may be trying to make money , but I don't think they are trying to get any credit , nor do they care to

 

attack of the clones...

still, i'm sure these knock-offs aren't actually much like the originals except for surface looks.

 

so how much $ for that knock off phantom?

 

Disgusting copies.

 

These mainland Chinese carmakers think they can succeed in the EXPORT markets by making blatantly obvious copycats? Sometimes the communist party nationalist extremists sometimes need to have their heads examined

Oh and here's more:

Chinese cars sold in Australia were found to contain ASBESTOS (which is banned substance in Australia)

Before anyone here gets too offended, remember that 50 years ago Japan was doing exactly the same thing. From tin toys in the early fifties, Japan had moved on to somewhat larger models . . . here a Datsun DC3 of 1952 vintage, modeled after some of the early postwar British sports cars:



With the handling of a runaway baby carriage and the power of a pedal car, Japanese manufacturers had a long learning curve to climb before they first became successful in the mid-70's with the Datsun 240Z:



China is now embarking on the same process of growing an auto industry. It may take them a while to get over the poor design and completely miserable execution in tin and plastic that were the hallmarks of Japanese industry for the first twenty years of the postwar era. They weren't all winners . . .

Well this isn't at all shocking or surprising. The government in china isn't willing to do anything about it either, which is also no surprise.

The Chinese government seems to have as much respect for IP as they do for butterscotch pudding.

 

How pathetic and embarrassing this must be for a lot of Chinese. For various reasons, I will NEVER buy a car manufactured in China, India, or Mexico. That is all.

 

I'm not going to lie here...
That hood looks good on the RX clone. I know that If that was an option, I would have a lot of customers put that hood on. Close to the 10+ style, but without the best change.

 

I wonder what the price comparison is on these.
