Shuanghuan Noble vs. Smart fortwo

Muamer Hodzic August 22, 2007

We have all seen and possibly even bought counterfeit our copied designer products. The Chinese have gotten so good with the copying, that they are now not just doing clothing or purses, but electronics and cars. As you can see on the picture above, the Chinese, specifically the ‘Shuanghuan’ company with its ‘Noble’ car has copied the smart fortwo almost identically. The design copy is so identical that Mercedes is moving towards with suing the Shuanghuan company to stop any possible sales of the 7,000 Euro product in Europe.

The copying is just getting out of hand and most of the time ridiculously identical to the original product. Not only are they copying the cars, but also company names, such as the Cherry (versus Chevy) and even company logos such as the BYD and BMW’s logo.
