    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

    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

    I will give them credit for an original design. I will then point at said design and laugh my ass off at how bad it is.

    So, you don't like it when they copy, but you also don't like it when thy try to be innovative. I think I might be catching on.

    I'd like to think that China is taking steps to sequester young students and take them high into the mountains to train as engineers and designers. Maybe 10 years from now, we'll see car designs that are completely unique, untainted by the influence of a century of Western design. The copycatting--not here, but in most cases--really flies in the face of many thousand of years of innovation and originality from their culture(s).


    This has been your temporary moment of cultural sensitivity and enlightenment. Now back to your regularly scheduled lead-and-MSG discussion.

    If it spews out an acid-like substance from the front end like the Alien does them I'm all in. I've been waiting for something like this for years.
    Finally, a way to get those pesky 50mph left-lane on the highway drivers out of my way.

    @Duke Sound Vtechen of Sleepenburg: I hate those people.


    Oddly enough, they either drive a Prius or a Porsche. Nothing in between.


    I could never understand that.
