Since the underpin didn't change from older Magnus, it shouldn't be too hard for Chery to clone.
Styling change is relatively easy; Magnus, Epica, Verona, and Tosca look different from each other. what matters is what is underneath the skin.Chery Eastar does not even look like Chevy Epica - Daewoo Magnus.
Magnus came out in 1999. The reskinned model came out in 2006.Chery introduced new Eastar before Daewoo come out with Magnus. How can they copy their car even before their car is released?
It is a public knowledge that the Son of Orient is an illegal replica of Daewoo Magnus, recreated by ex-Daewoo engineers who took the design drawings with them during Daewoo'd banktruptcy proceeding.In June of 2003, half a year before the Spark went on the market, Chery unveiled the QQ. It looked almost exactly like G.M.’s car but retailed for a quarter less: about six thousand dollars. Chery also introduced a sedan that appeared suspiciously similar to the Daewoo Magnus. Chery named that car the Son of the Orient.
The Chery Eastar/Oriental Sun has been sold in many middle eastern and eastern european countries.Real_I_Hate_China said:Any question as to why Chery's "flagship" cannot make it outside of China???
This is why Japanese and Korean automakers don't take Chery seriously; they are nothing but a bunch of auto pirates.
Yap, the places where there is no respect for other people's IPs. Which does not include the US and EU markets.The Chery Eastar/Oriental Sun has been sold in many middle eastern and eastern european countries.
When Chery starts selling in developed markets, they can sell the Eastar because GM has no complaints about it.Real_I_Hate_China said:Yap, the places where there is no respect for other people's IPs. Which does not include the US and EU markets.
God, you honestly believe GM lawyers are going to let this slip in the US and EU market??? Selling the Son Of Orient is considered a crime in the US and EU.When Chery starts selling in developed markets, they can sell the Eastar because GM has no complaints about it.
so the daewoo engineers took the blueprints for the Daewoo Matiz and Daewoo Magnus and gave them or sold them to Chery?Real_I_Hate_China said:http://www.newyorker.com/printables/fact/050926fa_fact2

They work for Chery now.so the daewoo engineers took the blueprints for the Daewoo Matiz and Daewoo Magnus and gave them or sold them to Chery?
Did GM fire them. If the Daewoo engineers work for Chery and designed their cars then it's not copying.Real_I_Hate_China said:They work for Chery now.
No, Chery lured them away with promises of a big payoff if they would come to Chery with stolen design files.Did GM fire them.
Of course. But they didn't design QQ and Son Of Orient; they simply recreated them using the files they brought from Daewoo.If the Daewoo engineers work for Chery and designed their cars then it's not copying.
What the Daewoo engineers did is not illegal. They were the ones who created the blueprints so they own the blueprints. If they want to work for Chery then it's their choice.Real_I_Hate_China said:No, Chery lured them away with promises of a big payoff if they would come to Chery with stolen design files.

Employees moving between employer is fine. As long as no intellectual property is taken from the old job.
