If you follow the global car scene, you will have heard about and likely seen online pictures of Chinese-built cars that bare an uncanny resemblance to products you and I know to not originate from China.
Although there were a huge number of proper knockoffs at the Beijing Auto Show, I'd expected to find far more in every nook and cranny. Anyhow, here are some of my favourites from the 2014 edition of Auto China.
BAIC-1 - Jeep Wrangler meets Hummer H1. Everybody looses.
BAIC BJ80 - Chinese Mercedes-Benz G-Class. Not so bad...
BAIC D60 - Mercedes CLA 45 AMG by another name.
BAIC - Jeep Wrangler on generic ‘roids.
GAC GONOW GA6470 - Range Rover Evoque sadly mates with an Outlander.
Haval H2 - Volkswagen Tiguan that's put on weight.
Haval H6 Sport - Volkswagen Touareg and Hyundai Santa Fe have an illegitimate baby.
Hawtai "cayenne"- A sad, sad, sad, bad, bad 1st Gen Cayenne goes uglier.
Hawtai "santafe" - Of all the SUVs to copy... The 1st Gen Santa Fe was bad enough as it was.
