I won't even comment on the exterior, but the inside looks quite nice from a styling point of view - if it weren't for that fake tacky wood. I don't need to see this thing in real life to make that comment right here, right now.

 

What really bothers me about the Chinese is how they are so shameless about there ripoffs. Communism at work. They have no incentive to create new technologies and designs or take the lead in anything.

Hey, at least they have great crumple zones though.....

Sorry, I was too lazy to state definitively "some Chinese companies." I'm just waiting for something "revolutionary" to spawn and roll out from SAIC as far as the global automotive industry is concerned. Do you really think that they didn't know they were copying Rolls Royce? There seems to be much infringement on design patents in China and this seems to be a recurring issue there. And not just cars, it does span across more than one industry as you have already acknowledged. Just think consumer electronics. As part of the emerging BRIC countries and a growing global player, I'm hoping the Chinese government will step up to enforce international patents.

 

Well, to be fair.

-they've got a bit more work to do but they've improved.

 

So let me get this right. Chrysler can make a blatant bentley/Rolls knock-off with the 300C but not Geely?

 

It's cool, adding the word "companies" makes a world of difference when making statements like that though.
They probably knew, I'm in no way defending them on their actions or those actions of other companies that do the same.

People will get away with what they can though, this is evident all over the world. Just like those d-bag ponzi schemers. As for govt enforcement, it would definitely be nice as it would force them to create their own stuff as opposed to making a quick buck, but at the moment most of those Chinese entrepreneurs aren't as concerned with "being original" just yet as they are with making money.

Thank you for your objectivity.

 

What's wrong with that?

US good, China bad...

 

To be honest, they don't look like Bentleys/RRs unless you change the grille to a mesh one.

 

Love the single rear seat....ideal for the lonely Potentate.

 

Forget about aerodynamics.

 

I think its funny that some people think the Chrysler 300 looks like a Rolls Royce. Just because they both have prominent grilles does not mean they are similar in design. LMAO

 

Not RR, Bentley. Please read up on Mr. Giles, the head designer.

The head designer said it the Bentley was his influence. I mean I like it, its aged well but its clearly a knock-off and people buy it in droves.

 

LOL@ the one seat in the back!

hahahah!

this car is such a rip, i cant wait to see this car in california if it comes to the US.

 

I love the single rear seat as well. They set it up in reverse Mc Laren style. 2 in front and 1 in the back. What a joke. A limo/luxury sedan that only carries one passenger and its short as hell.

 

Really? Why not? Sounds like a double standard to me. Anytime anything on a Chinese made car that isn't a ripoff even slightly resembles ANYTHING, anything at all, not just other vehicles, they take **** for it no matter how ridiculous a claim it is. So what makes Chrysler exempt?
