Wow. The Chinese is now making everything. It doesn't look too bad at all. I can see the similarities from MB and BMW in the pictures.

Chinese manufacturers are generally too cheap and incapable of designing their own products. Chinese culture places absolutely no value on intellectual property. When in doubt they just steal it and the government winks and looks away. If China is to assume the stature as a nation that it desires, then respect and acknowledgement of intellectual property must become part of Chinese society. It is up to the government of China to assume a leadership role.

Now back to the topic. It's obviously not a BMW because it's called JinJue.
But I think it looks rather nice.
