Then why is this car termed as a copy? Apart from the grille (and maybe a slight resemblance in headlamps), nothing is common between the two cars.

This is what the source Automotoportal.com quotes:

In some comparison pictures, you can’t even tell the original from the copy, as in the case of the SMA Shanghai Maple and the Audi S4 Cabrio.
From what I've heard, it should be a copy, only if it appears identical from all angles. Anyway, the so-called "copy" is not even a cabrio. And apart from the front end, there is nothing similar in both cars..
