Sorry mate, but no one else is complaining, and the photos seem fine to me and to those I asked to test it.

It's always been a Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, with an X3-esque rear end.

The entire car is Toyota Land Cruiser Prado.

I highly doubt that, plus that steering wheel is a direct rip-off of a BMW steering wheel.

Imitation in this case speaks to style alone. If the Chinese are serious about competing against BMW than they should make this vehicle out of aluminum or stainless steel so as to make it rust-proof in ways BMW cannot quickly imitate.

I hope BMW and Audi don't try to export their made-in-China vehicles to the gullible public in Europe and North America. I believe their thirst for profits
and the strong Euro will lead to this happening.

The quality of this car looks much better than a German made BMW. My mom's 2002 335i was so unreliable and poorly made she traded it in for a Lexus IS300. Never looked back ever since.

There was no 335i in 2002 stupid, and my e46 323i has never given me any problems and I bought it in 01 with 19,000 miles on it and to date it has well over 100,000 miles of trouble free driving on it. Yes I agree lexus may be more reliable than some BMW's but they sure don't drive like one, which is fine with me. but BMW's aren't junk either. Every one I have ever owned has been bulletproof. especially the engine and transmission and I beat the crap out of my older ones.

What's with the Mitsubishi sticker? Ironically it says something like mitsubishi strength! I can read a little japanese. (mitsubishi literally means three diamonds)
