More Chinese Auto Piracy

A year after it came to light that a Chinese company was selling a direct copy of the Chevrolet Spark, Honda reports that it is having problems with illegal Chinese copies of its designs:

Local Chinese manufacturers are churning out copies of models built in China by General Motors Corp., Volkswagen AG, Toyota Motor Co.p. and other carmakers with strong global brands.

Now Honda Motor Co. has identified 11 Chinese manufacturers that are making, or preparing to roll out, dead-ringers for its popular CR-V sport utility vehicle. Customers can even purchase kits to install CR-V badges on the pirate vehicles.

Automakers must toughen tactics to fight rampant Chinese piracy - 12/21/04
