Come on guys, people want origionality, people won't care if the logo looks like BMW's if they know the cars are nothing like them. Americans will not like this.

Yea, cheap copy-cat items don't fly to well over here, especially when those items are cars. Copy-cat watches and purse may do fine, but cars are a different story.

I don't understand why they do such things. A logo is probably one of the most important symbols to build recognition to the brand. How hard can it be to make an original symbol and how much money can they save from copying one?
I agree, but its not like the name or logo are set in stone. If an export possibility opens up im sure they could change their name and logo quite easily.

I would have thought BMW China would have hauled them over the coals for this. This is a blatant ripoff. If they had changed colours they may have been safe but really BYD and the badge -are they serious?
Whether the cars look anything like a BMW does have relevance -it makes it look like BMW has gone cheap.

To those who still don't know. BYD has now new logo which was first introduced on F1:

So I think it's pointless discussing similiarities between their old logo and BMW's. Probably company realised that if they want to compete on International markets old logo would be bad propaganda.

BYD's problem isn't that its logo looks like another manufacturer's logo.... its problem is that its cars look like other copies of the cars manufactured by other companies!

I still see new BYDs with the BMW emblem every day. I havent seen a single one with the new emblem yet.
