It happens all the time and to be honest, I don't think this is really copycatting - it's more like stealing and mixing up some ideas from other cars. Furthermore, I think this Haima 3 is way better looking than the Lacetti, which only had a nice rear but forgot the rest of the design.

Too bad. This car could have been more interesting. Yes . . . blatant Daewoo Lacetti/Buick HRV 5 door in the three-quarter view and Mazda3 Hatch from the back. Too bad.

Is it "boom, boom, boom" for the Haima? I wonder what the crash test results are for this vehicle. So instead of the motto being, “zoom, zoom, zoom” like it is for Mazda.
