It reminds me of a 1985 VW Jetta.

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

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.

+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'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...

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.

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..

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.
