Not sure if anybody has noticed, but most of the copy cars that come from China seem to bear a strong resemblance to Honda CR-V's or Toyota Prado's. Are these vehicles ones that sell particularly well in Asian regions? I even came across SEVERAL vehicles called SRV or S-RV whilst looking through manufacturers sites that looked exactly like-well, i reckon you could guess!

here's one of them:

Yeah, Chinese clones have enfuriated all of us. Once Japan was the same way - back in the 1950s and 1960s and it was only really in the 90s when they really got very individual (In general terms) so one can almost expect the Chinese Manufacturers to eventually start building their own stuff.
