Automobile manufacturer Chrysler has recently filed a complaint with the US International Trade commission to stop imports of what looks like another beautiful example of Chinese creativity, the Jeepzter. The Jeepzter *cough* roughly resembles a concept car shown by Chrysler in 2005 named The Hurricane. According to Chrysler, the Jeepzter is regarded “the same or substantially the same to the eye of the ordinary observer as the ornamental design.” See for yourself:

In terms of specs, there is a slight difference however. The four-wheel drive Jeep has two (!) V8 engines, while the Jeepzter is basically a souped up lawn mover with an 800 cc engine. The Chinese copying cars is of course far from a new development. Here are a few more examples of our neighbors’ automotive design skills.
