    Seems fitting: the Dakar has become some cheap, fake hazardous copy of the original event, much like this car is a cheap, fake, more dangerous copy of several 4X4s on the market. #chinesecars

    I think me, on a 1983 Honda XL125S has a better chance than this does, of finishing Paris-Dakar. #chinesecars

    Never heard of "Rely"...but I have heard of the X5. Let's hope whomever pilots this first-gen-Highlander (in profile) lookalike is more skilled than the average driver of the BMW version. #chinesecars

    Well, good for them. This will be a good outlet to prove they are not just lead lined death traps (although it would make for a macabre yet captivating sight if one crashed - a bit like NASCAR).

    I can't help but be a bit critical of their effort given the glaring disregard for trademarks and the persistent usage of other brands designs... case and point is that there are big "X5" decals plastered over the car and the company logo mimics the Infinity logo.

    The old saying was that Lexus product design began in Munich... Well, I guess for the Chinese companies product design begins anywhere but China. #chinesecars

    In reply to Chairman Mao's Commie Limo In American Hands

    My sister has traveled all over the world and likes to bring me the little totems/icons/whatevers that the truck drivers there use as good-luck charms. She said that she didn't think these were good-luck charms as wards against really bad government-inflicted bad-luck. Every taxi and truck in China had one (like the scented pine-tree in U.S. repo's) hanging from the rear-view, and this one rode for years in a buddies '72 Datsun 510 SW. When we/he sold it I ripped it of the mirror, and now use it when my car get's crotchety, which seems to happen more often the older we get.

    @MushyHeirloom: Oddly enough when people say "ROFLMAO" my first thought isn't off "lol" but of the 40,000,000,000 Chinese who died starving under the Red Revolution's push for industrializing China from a farming based community.

    Citroen had an advertisement for the C4 in Spain. It was withdrawn after complaints from Chinese who couldn't take a joke about the Communist leader.
