    Geely need to adopt the RR naming convention, adapted for the home market.


    Look forward to the Geely Ever Watching Presence of Ancient and Venerated Ancestor.

    Why? The cars are totally different. The Geely has amber turn signals, while the Roller has clear lenses. And, does the Geely have an umbrella buried in the door like the Roller? Doubt it. Case closed.


    Now excuse me while I go finish my lemon chicken and chow mein.

    Incidentally, they have a totally different slant on this over at Jaropnik.
    There's a zinger from Ashow78, and Glavelobber has a long tirade about the glory of the party.

    Pretty soon they'll change their name to Japan, stamp "Made in Japan" on everything, and try to sell it here.

    @Analyst: There is a difference between "borrowing" design influences and blatant copying.


    Also, we know China has lousy build quality, but nobody doubts that it won't improve in thirty to forty years. Japan improved greatly, as did South Korea.

    This must be a hard call for RR. On the one hand, you've got to protect your brand. On the other, do you really want to acknowledge that a Chinese knock-off can come anywhere close to approximating a Roller?

    @Alfisted: You don't have to go that far; you can show a deliberate attempt to copy appearance. It can still be a crap car; it is just dressed up to look like your car, and therefore undermines your car's value and rep while wrongly enhancing theirs. Like if I said I was Ash78 but my comments weren't near funny enough. I would cheapen his rep while trying to bogusly enhance mine.

    See, they're totally different. The Geely has it's fog lights down in the bumper (where they're safest) and has a few less slats in the grille.


    BTW, what's RR done with their turn signals, or are those for commoners?

    As for the turn signals, it's a privacy issue. Do YOU want other people to know where you're going? I thought not.
