Here is a new model from Zhongxing called Weihu (Grand Tiger). It was introduced at the Shenzhen car show in August. Grand Tiger series will go on sale in August priced at the lowest 89.8 thousand yuan. There are diesel engines and petrol engines with 2WD and 4WD. It looks quite a lot like the US-made Toyota Tundra.

I think its based off the US region Ford Ranger.

looks nice, but wonder how the engine and interior is

You are being fooled phaeton, its still based onto an Isuzu chassis however most, if not all ,of the sheet metal has been changed.

more pictures released...

Why oh why do they have to copy the looks of a Toyota Tundra??? That is soooooo stupid!!! :mad:

Just how hard is it to come up with a unique look, especially a truck? :nono:

looks strong, how does the engine and torque compete with the tundra??

Do'h :rolleyes: everything is based off the Isuzu :D

Actually I maybe incorrect. I read on CSS that the Zhongxing SUV looks to be based onto the Mitsubishi Nativa / Montero Sport / Challenger. Don't know if this is a legitimate use of IP though.

So the Weihu maybe based off of the previous generation Mitsubishi Triton...

The side profiles, cutlines and windows look quite similar imo.

They've change it so much you can't tell :D

I can sort of see Triton in the Weihu :thumb:

I think the Grand Tiger looks really great, I wonder if and when they export it, they will be able to compete with American made trucks in the USA?

Hey Zhongxing, Mazda Called, they want their logo back. Oh, and their truck too.

http://cn.autoblog.com/images/2006/07/gallery8_l.jpg

thats a copy of the toyota hilux/tacoma, i don't know why these companies (isuzu, toyota etc.) odn't sue these fools. how lazy have you got to be, people think Porsche are bad but they can argue that they don't want to spoil a winning thing, these chinese car companies can't and are therefore among the worst in the world, even the koreans and malaysians have the dignity to be bought by bigname companies so that they can legally use their designs, seriously someone has gotta tell these companies whats what!:thumb:

The front reminds me of new Mazda BT.

They have Changed so many things in the car, is difficult to know what truck they copied. :confused: But from the Front doors design, it must be the previous generation Hilux/Tacoma. It has nothing to do with the mistu L200. The car looks Ok though, I think I could consider one.

nothing special...typical pikup/suv

........designed according to the world's latest pickup trend. It belongs to the fifth-generation pickup range as the Toyota Tundra pickup model popular in North America and Nissan Frontier 2006 pickup.

The Grand Tiger is a small pickup and so cannot be included in the same class as the Tundra and Frontier which have much greater GVWRs. Rather it is closer in size to the Tacoma pickup.

I'm afraid Zhongxing is getting the reputation for offering no more than new wine in old wineskins.
