As China is rapidly becoming more and more modern and its people are becoming richer, of course its people want cars in which to travel around in. Some European car companies tried to cash in on this by producing and selling its cars in China to Chinese buyers but as China is very good at making near exact replicas of well known brands for every product , they of course tried to make copies of these European cars.
I try and give every product a chance before I use them but these cars are truly shameful and horrible knockoffs.
The first car that ill show you is a BYD coupe.... I wonder what car it reminds you of?
This car springs to mind... A Mercedes-Benz CLK.
For these two cars I tried to find a similar colour just to show how alike they are. Now a normal CLK costs around €80,000 but the BYD only costs €20,000! 20,000! I know that's a massive difference but really? Would you actually buy that car knowing that everyone that sees it knows its not the real deal. In China its different as no one would really know the prices of imported cars but even people who don't know cars very well know what a Merc is and can tell that's its expensive. If you looked at this would you think its expensive? €20,000 is a massive investment and if you think about it an Audi A4 thats one or two years old could be bought for the same price and would have much better resale values and a better image
Some other cars are also copies such as the Chery QQ, a copy of the Daewoo Matiz, the Shuanghuan Noble, a Smart Fortwo in disguise and a Geely Ge, a Rolls Royce with a square body.
