Raugh is on U! I've done the same with my BJ with a Bronco underneath...Chinese Americans finger me at every turn. A Ford badge and POOF! a sow is turned into a real fire breathing v8 4x4. I'm waiting for a knock off of a YUGO. Why not the Serbs need to get their pants dog knotted up too! Yup, Raugh is on U.S. Jim Guys,

I wonder if Dandong Shuguang will be meeting FAW in court over this? Looks like both of these are the short wheelbase model.

It's easy to attach their own homemade noses to. For the smaller companies, some which have already gone out of business, it is understandable. But for the big boys like FAW, BAIC, and Brilliance-Jinbei to resort to this, opens them to ridicule. At last count about 20 companies have used this Isuzu- based pickup or SUV body.

Has anyone ever counted? Landwind attempted to break into the Euro market with a clone, but couldn't pass the Euroncap.

I'm not a big fan of pickups or SUV's but is it that difficult to design a front for an outdated/pirated Isuzu chassis? Here's a pic of the Chevy Trailblazer, http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/35/2006_Chevy_TrailBlazer_EXT.jpg/781px-2006_Chevy_TrailBlazer_EXT.jpg I'd love to say some profanities but I know it's a family friendly site.
