Finally.

 

A warning is all well and good, but in the end, what legal options do manufacturers outside of China really have? The Chinese government will not step in.

 

no membership = no story

 

There are copies of the stories elsewhere, I think Mercedes even has a press release. Essentially there is a copy of the X5 called the Ceo, and there is a copy of the Smart car 2 seater.

 

exactly!

 

It didn't require a subscription when I first posted this thread

 

Did anyone else notice this 'warning' is just for cars imported to European countries? It doesn't mention anything about the mainland China market.

 

Here's a link to some pictures of CEO.

Why pay all that money for an original when you can have a cheap knock-off?

 

^I've read a story of Gucci making "knock-offs" to sell for cheap that look 99% liek their name brand stuff, just to corner the illegal market.

It's porbably fake, but damn interesting. And no I don't have a link for your wife,
