They’re at it again, in the beggining we had a Rolls Royce knock off, then we had a Mercedes knock off, followed by Cadillac, Smart Fiat Panda and Toyota Rav-4 knock offs, god knows what the Chinese are going to be cloning next. But for now, here’s how they’re pissing off European car makers, especially Mini Cooper, with their latest creation; the Lifan 3-Series. They don’t even leave names alone. 3-Series is supposed to represent BMW. Ironically, this car looks like a Mini Cooper, which is owned by BMW.
It doesn’t take a genius to see the resemblance between the two cars though the Lifan seems a little disproportioned compared to the original Mini. It will go on sale in the first half of this year.
