The Chinese deny the claims that they are knock-off products, but if you look at the car comparisons at the link below it’s hard to deny.

there's been a lot of this. the Chinese are too big to fail though.

Geely has much bigger problems than being accused of ripping off an old Rolls.

Sounds a lot like McDowell's vs. McDonald's in "Coming to America".

I'm surprised that they would even bother to deny it at this point.

Looks like the back seat is large enough to accommodate Uncle William.

I wonder how long until we see Meivici knock offs?
