Its styling is a patchwork of stolen design elements.

Hyundai and Kia are very good at borrowing from others. There was a time when you could take the Ford badge off a Fusion and put it on a Kia sedan and easily think it was real.
I thought the original Tundra was an F150 copy, when the F150 went all rounded on the sheet metal in the late 90’s.
However, China is very well know to copy outright as their own.

I wonder why they didn't copy the Bronco.

Ford itself is quite well known for its plagiarism. The Fusion/Focus/Fiesta with its knock-off Aston Martin inspirations, the Explorer that was enough of a copy of Land Rover that they got sued and had to change the design, and others.

I wouldn’t buy a Chinese made vehicle, ever. I’d be too afraid it would steal my identity, hack my bank account, and leave me stranded in the middle of nowhere. And the tariffs…

Hard pass on any made in CCP vehicle.

Agreed - HARD No

Except that Ford owned these companies.

Anything China builds that’s acceptable is done to some other countries specs or just an out and out copy. They never met a patent they didn’t completely ignore.

“it’s a Cheep thing”…. You wouldn’t understand.

Those examples sure, but what about the original Bronco and Scout? Ford even admitted to copying the Scout when designing the Bronco in the 60's. The Explorer was a direct attempt to copy the XJ Cherokee formula as well. It's common amongst the industry to some degree, Ford is no better or worse than most of the rest.

Looks like the whole thing is AI generated. Someone said to the bot to make a modern looking FJ based on the 60's designs and a current Wrangler/Defender/Bronco

you cant spell China without ai

This is true. In the 20 years that I've been traveling to China, it is astounding to see their progress. Their engineering and manufacturing abilities have easily surpassed ours, save for maybe a few specific areas.

How sad..........

Its almost like the government helping out the citizens and pumping money into projects and manufacturing works.

They’ll be here at some point. And probably at a significant discount

we got the 5.7 2 door Cheep/Gradiator with manual transmission before Gta 6.
