I'm also looking forward to the Twin-turbo v8 sports coupe (BMW 6-series fighter supposadly) they promised for under 21k in one of the older articles i posted earlier this year. Their pricing is so low it is hard to believe, but if they can pull it off without sacrificing quality, more power to them. Maybe that'll forced competitors to drop their prices too.

Is this the same company I was reading about not too long ago that was being sued by Toyota for reverse engineering and essentially blatantly copying a Rav4?
It will be intersting no doubt to see how this plays out....

Yes also be sued by GM for copying a small Chevy car in China as well.
Now, is it just me or does that car look a whole lot like a Toyota Solara from the side?
