    CORRECTION: The Jeep Wrangler is powered by the 3.6L Pentastar V6, not a V8. ANYWAY...What do you think of these Chinese cars? Would you drive one if it was more affordable than the real thing? Let me know!

But some just want to buy a car and those copycats are cheap and they're actually a "car". That shitty smiley mini just cost half of a Golf in China. And check out one more hilarious knockoff: the Zontey SR9 lol a fake Porsche Macan. And some suckers bought the SR9 and change all the badges to Porche to cheat girls. True story lol

And you know how western media works most they just wanna see how shit we are like 20 years ago. Even some manufacturers like Geely, BYD and Nio they’re having good designers now (BYD’s chief designer is from Audi) but foreigners still will try to find some parts are “copied” because they think that is a must.

    The other factor, not considered here, is the restrictions on engine capacity in China. Most of these knockoffs have smaller engines... because the Chinese can't run a higher power engine without financial penalties. Chinese colleagues in automotive explained to me years ago that if only international manufacturers would make for the Chinese market... they'd make a killing. Because they choose not to... you get the knockoffs as average Joe in China can't afford to own the higher power equivalents.
