2015 Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR review: - The Hullabaloo Online
When Chinese car company Landwind cloned the Range Rover Evoque, they left only a few differences between the X7 and the original. China Car Times reports that the clone will go on sale today, costing about three times less than the actual Evoque. Seeing that Land Rover couldn't stop them from committing what's essentially a crime, Landwind went a step further. They took their own grille off and installed the correct one, going as far as to also fit Land Rover badges. In any case, how could an aftermarket firm ever make a grille for a car that's not yet on sale. Our source has also discovered that you can buy the full set of Evoque and Land Rover badges for just 68 yuan. While the local market has been growing at double digit rates every year, some carmakers have stopped cloning European cars and designed their own. Landwind is jointly owned by Jiangling Motors and Changan Auto, companies that partnered with Ford to make cars. It's ironic, considering that until 2008, Jaguar and Land Rover were owned by Ford, who sold the Brits to the Tata conglomerate of India. Source: thehullabaloo.com
