new_man,
yes, all chines people are inherently bad people with no creativity... please note the sarcasm
The Chinese government does not have the same developed intellectual property rights as the US and Europe. People can easily and legally copy anything they want. It creates work for a portion of their population of over 1.3 billion people
If we didn't have the laws protecting patents, copyrights, trademarks, etc then it would all happen here too

LOL. Fucking Chinks.
How can I buy a RIICH? That looks absolutely glorious and awesome! Why buy the "real" thing when a copy is just as lovely, and affordable?
new man i suspect you're an incredibly ignorant and uneducated person if you draw conclusions about an entire race just because of some pictures of cars you see on a random website. Several of the cars above are produced under lisence from the original manufacturers, and as for having cars that look similar to other companies cars, do you hate all americans because a Ford F-150 looks like a Dodge Ram?

new_man, Consider that for a large portion of automobile history, the Chinese imported most of their vehicles from high-quality foreign brands. People are reluctant to purchase exclusively Chinese cars because of the lack of familiarity and brand loyalty that they have for foreign cars, and because Chinese cars are built like toys.
The cheap knock-offs are designed to fool the average buyer into buying from the struggling Chinese brands.

yeah, blatant ripoffs, i live in shanghai and see them regularly. but as with most knockoffs, the outside looks similar (or the same) but what's underneath it's a rather different beast.
while this may be a bit blatant, most car companies have knockoff designs from each other. look at the hyundai sonata, looks very similar to an older jag. i know that the subaru legacy has some look alikes at GM and toyota. how about that ugly lego jeep that toyota made? there are some pretty blatant cases here, but it happens.
@earl, solale, fred finizzi- well, i've seen a few riich cars and i suspect you're correct about them. but chery is a pretty big brand here. they're not as well respected as VW, Ford, or GM here (yes, that's right, GM actually makes GOOD cars in China, far better than the ones in the US at least...) but i'd probably say that they're a second tier producer- like hyundai in the US, cheap and not great quality, but decent and gets you around. It's kind of funny, japanese brands are a bit less popular here- many people believe that japanese car manufacturers in china build inferior or faulty cars on purpose so they kill chinese people in accidents.
@Albert- being that the chinese fuel efficency standards are higher than in the US, and that they tax cars with larger engines more heavily, i'd say you're probably 100% correct

I'm a Chinese. i really like to say something. I totally understand your feelings but still i think you have too much prejudice to Chinese people. i don't like the coping thing either, but now none of us can really do anything about this. it's an inevitable process in a country's development. we're all doing our best to make the situation better. i hope you can share some understanding about us.

Gotta start somewhere. They're copying a Sov, er, Russian carrier, too. You don't do original code or designs when you're learning the ropes. Give 'em a couple of decades and they'll be building their own designs as good or better than the West. We need deregulate our industries and start turning out more engineers and scientists than we do lawyers...

Activity rewards:
all this talk about the cars , whether they look like an american car or european for that matter is just a waste of words and lots of insults will take us no were..
yes i agree in principle that all chinese are assholes,
i will admit to the hate we all feel in the world for them sumsofbeaches,
i will reluctantly agree to the sentiment that they have shit for brains and smell like a ton of wasted garlic mixed with dog shit,
but there no reason to insult them, i am sure they are almost human and they deserve our petty and some sympathy, ofter all PETA has them in their list.
so lets stop the fumanchu bashing and give`em insteed of the middle finger a chance.........

LOL. haven't Chrysler just built a "Roll Royce wannabe" oh yeah the Royal Ride, and the 300c after the Bentley. Ain't just the chinese ripping of the car industry is it?
