Great Wall, a Chinese auto manufacturer, is set to begin selling this , the Wingle, in Italy of all places. Looks like a lightly revised D-Max to me...

They also plan to sell this , the Hover, which looks suspiciously like an Axiom.

What's going on here? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> Are they actually Isuzus or is the Chinese industrial sector at it again, copying designs it knows to be successful?

EDIT: I knew Landwind was doing this. Here's their version of the Rodeo .

I think they are just copying designs again like landwind did. The axiom looking one says its using a mitsubishi engine.
