Against the original, the Chinese version has a subdued but deep masculinity, but when you look at the Chevy Colorado, you just think the Chinese car is underendowed. And the Colorado is unlikeable; its masculinity is straight and flagrant. The Chinese version has subtlety, but... Somewhere, someone described Tolkien's Lord of the Rings in comparison to Wagner's Ring Cycle. The Ring Cycle was a hopeful, ambitious, but a bit monstrous manifestation of Romanticism. The Lord of the Rings was bourgeois to its core. But when you read Tolkien, it affects your responses to the Ring Cycle; it breaks the Wagnerian spell with its thematic parallels; an evil Ring in Tolkien, a Ring of evil in Wagner, good hobbits and evil dwarves, Gods whose power have waned... so Wagner's beautiful monster is slain. An adult dream of destruction and renewal, the symbolic depiction of 19th-century life, the hopes and dreams of men and women, this is all dashed by a child's fantasy! So if you've read the simple-minded myth of a patriarchal world, where life is of submission to God, where the world is wonderous in its Kitsch and thus worth saving, where the terrorists are well, terrorists, the music will no longer sing to you. And such it is with the cheap Chinese imitation and its American original. A man who does not need to prove himself a man; this is destroyed by a forceful masculinity. You know, I hate it.

Next booth over was the car that looked like a Smart ! The way they build some of these vehicles is similar to the methods the Chinese use to manufacture motorcycles.....shared parts, frame, shared engines, shared technology that's why the body panels and cabs look similar, left over Toyota or Isuzu truck parts.....they just change the nose. Saves a fortune on mold and stamping costs. Not much different from Western manufactures sharing platforms.....Opel-Buick-Holden, Chrysler-Merc... etc etc. Given time it will change as volumes increase I guess.....the Chinese market is totally unique in that it has grown fom nothing to something in less than 25 years and there are plenty of players who can afford to step ito the market place because of the shared technology, stampings and components. The business opportunities it creates are enormous-you can moan, groan and complain or you can get get involved and take advantage of the opportunity.

They may look similar or very different. What is scary to other nationalities is that they cannot accept the fact that the Chinese technology is growing, improving or even coming out better. What looked sad is that there are still ugly racists that are still existing that can only afford to descriminate the good work of other nationalities.I'm ashame we love so much our own american products. So selfish that even similarity of work makes us offended. Come on! Let the Chinese do their own. They're doing good! I have no problem looking at the design. They may look similar or very different.

It's a different look. Granted, they may have copied that design feature. My point is that while other countries vehicles are not looked at as critically, Chinese vehicles tend to be criticized automatically.
