Laughable Chinese Automobiles - Cody - 02-19-2012

Why you no can buy F150 in China http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/02/china-jac-does-it-again-with-ford-f-150.html. There's all sorts of remakes of American automobiles in China, I feel like this thread might get pretty entertaining. I particularly like the engine option with this one...108hp in a pickup truck might get you up a hill with leaves in the back if you're lucky.

Last week's Top Gear had them reviewing two Chinese clones of British-ish cars. They were entirely unremarkable but I do remember the one had leather, wood trim, all that jazz... and a three-speed automatic.

Actually, the design of that truck looks pretty good. I'm sure it is actually a piece of crap all around, but it does make you question why they can copy a truck and make it smaller (at least it looks smaller), but Ford themselves can't do it for a small to mid-sized truck for NA.

whatever you do, don't drive your LandWind into something stationary, unless you like eating your own face

Ford Australia gets a kickass Ranger... which looks even more similar to the copy above than an F-150 :lol: http://in4ride.blogspot.com/2011/02/upcoming-ford-ranger-gets-6-speed-auto.html
