Auto Homage?

Tell me that this:

isn't a complete rip-off of the Mercedes-Benz CLK.

Definitly looks like it was "inspired" by the Merc.
Darth Vader: I've been waiting for you, Obi-Wan. We meet again, at last. The circle is now complete. When I met you I was but the learner. Now, *I* am the master.
Obi-Wan: Only a master of evil, Darth.

There a at least 10 cars that the Chinese have copied from other manufacturers. This company also copied another vehicle look at the F3, reminds me of the Corolla while the F6 has hints of the previous generation Accord. See Chinese homages aren't limited to watches, they have cars, ipod touched and iphoneu, brownberries, and Playgroundstation 360 (actually having both the 360 and PS3 in one device would be pretty nice).

Surprise chinese have stolen style from someone else! Do they have own ideas? Sometimes they even take two different models and make something out of it and result is garbage! :cussing:
