Zhongxing Weihu (Grand Tiger)

[chinacartimes]

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.

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!

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. 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.
