Chinese New Mini rip off

[dalla]

Iam currently in China. Yesterday i spotted this shameless copy.

No idea what it is, other than some Chinese junk.

 

[Englebert]

LOL! Their way of thinking is really interesting though, they see no shame in it.

 

[Phill1978]

its their loss. it wont handle as good or feel the same quality or have the same features. as long as there not sold as if it was the actual model so people are not thinking mini`a are that s**t then its actually quite flattering

 

[rogueneo]

looks like a messed up clubmann with no styling.

 

[Hazza]

Looks nothing like a mini, don't know what you're talking about.

It's the Lifan 320

HAHAHAHAH

 

[Addz]

Not only women mate. All drivers over here are shocking. We had a cabbie run a dog over one day. It was like he didn't even notice.

 

[R20 CWH]

they have a few right rank 'copy' type motors.

 

[Ali]

There's always one of these parked by my mates house. What's the story behind em?

 

[SC03OTT]

Lol @ that video. The Chevy Matiz is a heap of s**t anyway. Why in gods name would you copy it?

 

[Dave..]

Ford own mazda. Much in the same way that the mazda 3 is essentially a ford focus underneath, the old mazda 121 was as much a ford fiesta, as a ford fiesta was.

I fear crap like this will someday end up over these shores.

Shameless.

Normal copyright laws mean f*ck all in China.

Take the Chintendo Vii, for example.

[Dave..]

Because everything gets made over there anyway, they'll have one factory making the actual product, and the factory next door will be churning out all the fakes, it's rediculous.

Fella I know manufactures equipment for turning tea leaves into, well, tea. He could easily make a few mill by selling to china, but within 2 years they'd be making carbon copies, so not worth his time.

Exactly. The business we're in is incredibley sensitive, in terms of security. The Chinese have tried copying the machines we use, and the product that we manufacture, thankfully they're s**t at it.

Ya pleb

Could say the same thing about the Alhambra, Galaxy and Sharan from years back too

 

[young_lew]

That "MINI" copy is embarrassing.

They're starting to catch up on the copyright side of things tbh. More and more western companies are suiing the Chinese ones.

I've seen the Chinese copyright journals at work, they come in about 30 volumes every few months, each about 500 pages thick, all filled with copyright infringement lol!

 

[Christopher]

LOL. No surprise there.

Our company have production facilities out there. We recently relocated, because we found out that the next door facility were copying some of our stuff.
