[email protected] SG hey seriously if they're that good, why need to have a logo that is so similiar to toyota's that: "In addition, a survey commissioned by Toyota revealed that two out of three car buyers mistake Geelys logo for Toyotas trademark, helping Geely garner sales. Toyota also alleges that Geely misled its customers by claiming that its Merrie cars used Toyota engines." If the car is as good, there is no need to resort to such underhanded methods. Comparism of Logos: An example of application where it misleads others into thinking it is a toyota: I don't think I need to say more. Their QC, materials quality, interior fit etc are all not up to standard yet. Probably resembles the cheap plastics used in the mid-90s. If they were as good as all the china supremacists here claim, they can develop a completely unique look and still gain a share of the market, instead of having to trick consumers into thinking it is a toyota, in order to gain sales.
[email protected] SG i think its fair to say that they're being economical with the truth when they say most their parts are from toyota. WHAT parts? leftovers from the 90s parts bin? anyway they won that court case because: "Other problems that beset the Chinese automotive industry are lack of protection for intellectual property and widespread industrial espionage. Chinese authorities do not recognize international patents or trademarks. Imitation is not considered intellectual piracy. The consequences are dire: Toyota lost a lawsuit against the Chinese manufacturer Geely for copying the Toyota brand logo." they lost because the chinese govt protects their own companies including when they conduct something that is arguably criminal.
