Another Copyright Infringement: Lifan 3-Series

What do you think about the Mini Clubman? Cute, isn't it? And the new Lifan 3-Series? Not so cute.

Chinese carmaker ( aka photo shopper) Lifan has launched its Mini Clubman look alike 3-Series. It's close in a lot of ways, but misshapen in others. A weird front overbite is the result of small wheels and a longer overhang than the MINI, and the C/D pillars appear thick.

Underhood there will be the Tritec four cylinder that powered the R50 first generation of revived Minis.

Another Chinese Copy-Cat

Well nobody can stop Chinese people. They copy anything continuously. I know what you think. These cars suck, cheap copies... And I believe that you're probably right. I am sure this car isn't as good as the previous generation Corolla it tries to copy.

Byd will be at the Detroit show next month. Not sure if the F3 will be there or not. -More pictures after the jump...
