The guys at Selectcarleasing.co.uk take a look at the many car model rip-offs that have recently come out of China.
In the motoring industry, a lot of pressure, trust and reliability falls upon the shoulders of the designers. The people who spend days, weeks, months, possibly years making cars better looking, faster, lighter, more eco-friendly and safer, so that we the consumers, can get that thrill we feel once we get behind the wheel of a car we’ve been saving our hard earned cash up for.
However, in China, a new breed of “designers” has risen. These designers are a little less imaginative then the other ones around the world. Why? Well, thanks to China’s notion of property, or lack of should we say.
As a result, China are copying cars and getting away with it. The cheek!
Take a look of some of China’s best/worst motoring rip offs.
I recently met a Chinese man and his name was Kannaswami.
I asked him: “How did you ever get a name like that being a Chinese?”
He said: “Many, many years ago when I first went to USA, I was standing in line at the Political Asylums Immigration Counter. The man in front of me was a Sri Lankan Tamil refugee. The white lady at the counter looked at him and asked “What is your name?” He replied “Kannaswami”.
Then she looked at me and asked “What’s your name?”
