None of those vehicles pictured should be allowed in North America based solely on the fact that they're ripoffs.
That's a slippery slope there though. What is a ripoff, exactly? There are obvious ones, of course - the Chery QQ and Chevy Matiz can apparently interchange parts - but how similar do they need to be?

Safety regulations will ensure that the clones will never be sold here, because they're not made well, that's why they're so much cheaper.
