It’s that time of year again — the Shanghai Motor Show! The auto show where increasingly desperate American, European, Japanese and Korean automakers try to tap the Chinese bubble before it pops entirely, and where Chinese automakers try to prove to the rest of the world that they can build more than just the car equivalent of fake Rolexes.
The folks at the UK’s Auto Express are at the show, and they’re happy to show the world just how shameless these knockoffs can be. Can’t decide if you want a Ferrari F12 or a Porsche Cayman? That Eagle pictured up above is happy to take your money. I bet it’s parked right near the Ferrari and Porsche stands, too.
Eagle: “Because fuck you, that’s why.”
Other great shameless knockoff hits at the Shanghai show include the Land Wind, the Hongqi L9, and the Lincoln Continental. Oops, did I say that last one out loud? Hmm...
