And they are showing how China is not only copying Iphones, Ipads, Louis Vuitton bags, etc; but they are doing this with cars too. Pretty damn cheesy if you ask me but what took the cake is when they showed a budget version of the BMW X5. Jeremy says BMW sued for copyright infringement and lost because the Chinese government said that the truck looks nothing like the X5.

nice find! This is so silly and obvious. I gotta agree though, the Shaunghaun CEO doesn't look loads like the X5, more like an X5 and a Sorento. The rest are downright knock-offs.



I can't believe they copied the Matiz! Not a bad rip, but what a rip! I'm curious as to what their design and manufacturing process is like.



Really beautiful Accent in your Signature by the way.

China: they make half of everything made in the world

they don't have many scruples about copying any of it.
