    Wow, I thought that in China only low tech stuff is being copied.
    How wrong I'm. Even cars get copied!!! -sweat ​

    The plain similarities between automobiles such as [COLOR=orange! important][FONT=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif][COLOR=orange! important][FONT=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]Mercedes[/FONT][/FONT][/COLOR][/COLOR] C vs Geely Merrie 300(above) sparks debate whether the Chinese designs are just blatant copies of their more established counterparts. Judge them by yourselves with 11 more pics after the jump.

    ^_^ heh, we chinese rarely innovate, we replicate.

    the japanese don't innovate much either, they improve on previous versions over and over

    americans are the innovators

    ...that's what I think! They've probably cloned all of us in secrecy and the duplicates are wandering in China. -unsure

    Yeah they call it TQM - Total Quality Management

    Not even in the U.S. as well. Someone I know said she saw a person that looked like me exactly on the bus. They're coming...

    Well style is patented so there goes your arguement.
