The worst part is if you take a side impact from an actual smart car, you would be wrapped up inside of that knock-off like hamburger meet inside of tin foil.

Pathetic country. I really wish we didn't buy so many products from them but they're cheap so I guess that makes it ok. The latest being Chinese drywall.

The Smart/BMW thing is unbelievably ugly. Disgraceful rip-offs.

Smart car, BMW kidney grills, Sparco seats, heart-shaped headlights, that's pure epic fail.

Actually they're 7 vs 8 spokes and tapering vs non-tapering. I don't see what similarities he's seeing.

The entire top of the car on the old A6 and current Taurus is the same. The only difference I see is a different shaped rear door, chages in front end styling (but not shape) and the rear of the A6 is more rounded.

I don't even know where to start... It's widely known that Jay Mays left the VW group and took his designs directly to Ford. It's very obvious in the A6/Passat and the Ford 500/Taurus also the Jetta and the Ford Fusion. It was retarded that Ford let Mays rehash a nearly decade old car design.

I'm not into design, so I didn't know about that. Interesting, thanks.

I try very hard not to buy Chinese made crap. The only exception is only when a product is branded by a reputable company with good quality assurance (i.e. Logitech, etc.)
