MicroNitro Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 I worked on designing that car when I was at Whatsamater - U design school. It was to be the Whogivesarats...

MikeMc Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) There were actually 2 answers possible, it is also a 2006 Rover 75 Looks different to me.... Edited February 10, 2012 by MikeMc
Harry P. Posted February 10, 2012 Author Posted February 10, 2012 There were actually 2 answers possible, it is also a 2006 Rover 75 No, it's a 2006 Roewe. The Rover 75 ended production in 2005. The Chinese company bought the assets of the defunct Rover and the car is "based" on the Rover (or in plain English, a copy). However, the name "Rover" was already owned by BMW at the time, so the Chinese company couldn't use it... so they came up with "Roewe."
Dr. Cranky Posted February 10, 2012 Posted February 10, 2012 Looks like the same design team that has been doing the Volvos, Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, and so many other uninteresting looking cars.

True, but when the MG group bought the company, they made a few last 75's together with their Z7 MG, it had a V8 and was available in 2006
martinfan5 Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 On this past sunday Topgear UK show, they did a piece on how China is "stealing" other car company's cars design and just renaming them. China has two of their own cars that they are making, dont remember the name of them . I think it was BMW they said during the piece, tried to sue and lost in a China court.
Fabrux Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 I get the impression that Chinese courts might be a little biased...
