UltraRazza 2012-06-15 20:24	Hmm... what I meant is that Chinese car industry uses near identical car designs for their own purposes, showing a lack of imagination. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_automobile_industry#Copying_claims_controversy But when they use this imagination, the products can either be dodgy looking, like the Roewe range, to the downright stupid. www.imcdb.org/vehicle_476317-Pioneer-XF150ZK-4.html What I meant by "get away with it" is that if a car company says one of our cars looks like a Chinese car, the government would come in and say no it doesn't. -- Last edit: 2012-06-15 20:38:37
RacingFreak 2012-06-15 19:32	I know, but its chinese and all... with no taste in design, although familiar with the original, just like the car on this page
carcrasher88 2012-06-15 19:19	Well, the only reason it's Roewe, and not Rover is because SAIC wasn't able to acquire the Rover name when they acquired MG Rover from BMW. BMW had sold the Rover name to Ford, who in turn sold it to it's current (and somewhat reasonable) owner, Tata Motors, owner of Jaguar-Land Rover. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roewe So, basically, they would have used the Rover name, if they had been allowed to acquire it. Not their fault.

RVR72GV 2012-06-15 15:16	Done.

mx3 2012-04-08 03:10	Roewe 550
Sandie 2012-04-08 02:02	I'm still certain these are all Roewe 550s.
jeepguy0995 2012-01-10 01:21	Looks like a 2006.5-2010 Kia Optima from the rear.
carcrasher88 2012-01-08 01:37	You know what...now that I think of it...I think it looks a good bit like the new Ford Focus sedan...
ta-caprice-xi 2012-01-08 01:14	To be honest, it is a fairly generic sedan when you compare it to a lot of modern cars currently avaiable in real life - at a glance it even looks like it's loosely based on a Passat B6. However, the overall styling is undeniably similar to that of the Roewe 550, this one actually looks better than the real thing IMO.
J-2 2011-11-03 20:48	I think it´s a Roewe too.
Sandie 2011-11-03 20:25	Bumping (it's definitely not a Lacetti) Same goes: www.igcd.net/vehicle.php?id=41217 and www.igcd.net/vehicle.php?id=41218
m.pfaffeneder 2011-10-23 15:33	I agree with Sandie. It´s a Roewe 550. Definitely not a Cruze.
BeanBandit 2011-10-22 23:13	More Cruze than Lacetti. de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:Chevrolet_Cruze_LT_1.8_%E2%80%93_Frontansicht,_2._Juli_2011,_Mettmann.jpg&filetimestamp=20110702224725 de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Datei:Chevrolet_Cruze_LT_1.8_%E2%80%93_Heckansicht,_2._Juli_2011,_Mettmann.jpg&filetimestamp=20110702224827
m.pfaffeneder 2011-10-22 21:28	It´s definitely not a Lacetti (BTW: model origin of the Lacetti is Korea )

Kecske 2011-10-22 20:38	Sandie wrote To me it looks more like a Roewe 550 Evidence: www.webcarstory.com/voiture.php?id=3153 Great find. We won't get any closer than that.
