Think you'd already seen all the automotive counterfeits outside-design-influenced flatteries China has to offer during our Beijing Motor Show coverage? Well, think again. We've just found an SUV that's a perfect example of how to take a car that's merely a vague rip-off and turn it into a blatant copy. It's like design reverse-engineering — being reversed. Originally starting life as a Shuan Huang SCEO, this SUV's basic shape was already very BMW-like. All it needed was a twin-kidney grille transplant. Add the BMW round logos, and you're ready to head for the country club. Just don't get into a crash on the way there — or lick the paint. [via ChinaCarTimes]
