They do have creativity here, they made their own air-vents, although the panels and the locations of the climate controls[ even the symbols].......

when did chinese cars look original? they mash designs from multiple sources and call it theirs

BEEB 12-15-2009 09:27 PM

I wonder if Chinese car makers will give a 10 year warranty bumper to bumper like Hyundai first came out. If so, these BYD cars would be a good for pizza delivery and taxi or rentals.

keyless start!

Who gives a fuck if it meets the needs of the market. This is a cheap basic ride and as long as it meets at least SOME sort of safety requirements then so be it.


If it was here in Canada though. Fuck that nasty bitch ho shit.

I wonder how many more years until Chinese auto makers are capable of my cars on par with the Americans and the Japanese.

At this rate, they'll always be 10 years behind in technology.

NiceRide 12-16-2009 03:01 AM

how long has BYD been around anyways for cars, or even the chinese auto industry, gotta give them some time to develop their technology, and some of their designs aren't bad

I don't think that car in the picture is BYD

RFlush 12-16-2009 10:12 AM

I'm up huge with BYD stock all thanks to Warren Buffet. If he believes in it, I approve! :D

true... i got to admit they do have some impressive technology in their big cities that we don't have; however the quality is very low.

Timpo 12-16-2009 04:15 PM

not impressive

CP.AR 12-16-2009 04:21 PM

DO NOT WANT.

Honestly, China needs to get creative. I bet if you walk into their showroom and ask "so what kind of car does this model compare to?"
they will answer
"well you see, this part is from a Corolla, this is from a Sonata, and the circular airvents are from some other car, so our model can compare to many other brand models!"

Y2K_o__o 12-17-2009 08:57 PM

is it just me ~ the 2nd picture looks like a corolla !!

^ actually the fake Accord is partnered with Honda...it's not a clone as I heard

.Renn.Sport 12-18-2009 12:41 AM

i dont really care
i just hope they keep selling these crap, cuz 30% of my business comes from BYD :D

asahai69 12-18-2009 05:24 PM

^ and the other 70% comes from being a fag??

asian_XL 12-19-2009 06:01 AM
