Imitation of Persona?

[BiG_M]

Giant continental car manufacturers like Posh, BMW, Mercs often get copied some of their masterpiece by those China cars manufacturers. But what came across my eyes from some random searching was even our beloved national car that may not stand a chance to shine it's name worldwide, but still it was a target to some pro-clone China car manufacturer and it was called the "Lotus L3 1.6L" originated from Proton Persona.

Behold the images below.... Too bad no pics from the engine bay

Because they don't know how to pronounce Perusahaan Otomobil National in China?
For example if people ask them what does Proton stands for, they can't speak our languange

haha yeah, maybe sold at a discounted price.. Like those UK specs, better quality but cheaper than our local price (or something like that)..
