devarshi84 · 3rd November 2006, 09:57

Actually, Mercedes Benz and San Storm can both sue these guys for copying designs.

vikram_d · 3rd November 2006, 10:37

All the best to Merc for suing a company in China. IMPOSSIBLE.

i might go faster if it was a pedal car. the proportions are more like the clk.
lets see. slightly altered bmw logo, sl headlights & bumper design, the rear is renault megane, and of all things, indica/go wing mirrors?.

Nothing much... except another round of recriminations from ppl about chinese rip-offs... By the way the manufacturer 'Byd' seems to be a manufacturer of automotive batteries... all of a sudden they decided to enter the car manufacturing space! And what an entry

CaliforniaKnight · 4th November 2006, 00:14

yuck yuck yuck...MAN...thats BAD!!!!

DOnt u have copyrights or something like that in China??
Can the chinese copy ANYTHING?

Rudra Sen · 4th November 2006, 06:08

Why those lamps look like a cut and paste Photoshop job to me?
Forget the car, something fishy about that picture itself.

adya33 · 4th November 2006, 09:09

You gotta give it to Chinese, they really know how to grab an opportunity.

devarshi84 · 4th November 2006, 09:19

Maybe slightly offtopic.

Our retail stores used to get accessories from a Chinese vendor. We came to know by chance from a middleman that he sold the same stuff to other chinese vendors for cheap.

. He lost business business from our and our sister chain stores at the moment (Dunno how much dent it will make though)

There is a big Pacific Mall run by the Chinese here dealing in Electric goods. Just to give an example, they have a P990i selling for $450. THe retail for new anywhere else Non-chinese is $650. And if you are a Chinese you will again get more discounts on $450. Wonder where they get this stuff from.
