Rear fenders and wheels are vaguely similar, too.

tranzformer 04-17-2011 10:46 PM

That oughta teach Toyota not to take 4 years to get this car to market. Well not really. But still Toyota, please hurry up.

Giccin 04-17-2011 10:52 PM

Surprise? Lol.

China replicates everything. Doesn't mean its going to be the best quality anyways. xD Let'em make it. It'll be just like the fake Gucci and LV bags. :P

iff2mastamatt 04-17-2011 10:58 PM

It also looks like some of the Mazda concepts, but it won't have Toyota quality (that's for sure).

serialk11r 04-17-2011 11:19 PM

Hey copying just means other people think your design is nice ;) kinda like how Hyundai Genesis looks like a Mercedes.

john 04-17-2011 11:31 PM

Am I the only one who doesn't see it? Looks more like an Evo 10 rather than an ft86 to me. :iono:

I don't see any FT86 connection either. More of a concept Mazda clone than anything imo.

Don't worry. It most likely will have a fail transmission.

(No offense meant towards any Chinese people. This is just a consequence of regulations not being able to keep up with the economic growth in hyperspeed.)

serialk11r 04-18-2011 02:35 AM

whoa...that's pretty bad.
I'd say that's more of a quality control issue, although it's weird that Ford couldn't get this right (although I don't know, when I was really little my parents took me to Chicago and rented a Ford Taurus whose gas tank leaked...we found out when the car refused to start, and then we look and there's this GIANT puddle under the car). My family lives in China, few of my extended family have rather cheap (some Chinese brand even) cars, but they work very smoothly and are built pretty well.

EDIT: I guess my point is, sure China is kinda backwards but they do more things right than people here think...

TRDMAN 04-18-2011 04:14 AM

Looks like the new Jags to me

[es vi: eks] 04-18-2011 06:22 AM

Ive driven Chinese made buses. No quality at all.
My Bus was made in 2008-09? had only done 20,000kms since new. Engine mounts broke 2 or 3 times.
Halfshaft/bearing joints had been greased on one side but not the other.
Lots of electrical Faults all the time.
All the bueses drove differently. Some you had to work very hard to even keep the bus straight on the sealed roads.
Atleast once a week 1 bus broke down or played up. Sometimes 3 had to go back at once to the repair depo.
I will say the turbo diesel motors were the strongest part (I beleaved it was a cummings rip off or made under liecence????) , Havnt known any of those blowing up... ( I stopped driving my one at about 20,000km So dont know how they are at high mileages )
They would fill up with dust.

I will not buy a chinese made vehicle

It reminds me of a 1985 VW Jetta.

Matador 04-18-2011 07:47 AM

It looks like a Seat Ibiza/Leon... which are actually VW Golfs underneath.

#87 04-18-2011 12:34 PM

I guess they made some trade offs to be able to sell it so cheap, huh?

That's because it is a second generation jetta underneath the skin.

That car does not look like the FT-86 concepts in those portions circled, IMHO. :thumbdown:

+1 Even if it's not as detailed as the original, they'll still try and copy it! I've seen horrible variants of Air Jordans that you can totally tell it's fake.

I see you changed your quote about calling me a fuck. and telling me to shut up.. Sorry Bruh but I don't get in fights on the Internets.

TRDMAN 04-19-2011 03:44 AM

I don't doubt that in the next 10 years China will be churning out better quality cars than the American automakers. My previous post was not meant to be offend anyone. PS anybody had any experience with the Chinese crotch rockets? Hyosung is their name I think..

TRDMAN 04-19-2011 03:45 AM

ah damn Hyosung is Korean nevermind. China is making motorcycles too. Zongshen's look badass.

serialk11r 04-19-2011 04:23 AM

I also apologize for my rude comments.
Essentially what is lacking in China is a market for higher quality goods since it's still relatively poor, when the time comes more original and higher quality stuff will arrive.
