Just for fun - #2 - Counterfeit cars?

[52nd of February]

You can buy Chinese copies of handbags, designer clothes, watches, crockery, everything basically.

And that includes cars.



This first pair here are soooo similar, some of the parts actually fit into the other car!
Daewoo Matiz/Chery QQ



Holden Frontera/Landwind



Mercedes C-Class/Geely Merrie 300



Neoplan Starliner/Zonda A9



Rolls-Royce Phantom/Honqui HQD - not soooo much of a copy...



Toyota Prado/Dadi Shuttle - The Dadi is frightening! I think it's the oversized headlights...



They even copy the badges too!


Toyota sued for this one, and won:

You haven't seen anything yet - tomorrow when I have access to the computers again, I'll post a Chinese car company's clone of the Toyota RAV4, and their rip-off of the BMW X5 - it's unbelieveable!!!

As promised, here is the Chinese company Zhejiang Jonway, owned by Shuanguan Auto Company's copy of the Toyota RAV4. They call it the "UFO", and it's scarily similar!





Here's the Toyota RAV4...








And here's it's clone:













But the Jonway's quality is absolutely awful. This is a brand new UFO...





And here' are a few equivalence shots of the two -from a distance, there's no differentiating them!

Not just this model RAV4, but the 2007 model too - compare the dashboards:








Jonway didn't stop at the RAV4. They also decided it would be a good idea to copy the BMW X5, and call it the "CEO"








Pretty crazy, huh?
