HongQi announces new photochopped Lincoln MKT crossover!

How brazen can you get? At least most of the Chinese auto-cloners automakers create their own renderings of the cars they are copying. HongQi, a "premium" brand produced by First Auto Works in China simply grabbed a couple of press shots of the Lincoln MKT concept from the Ford Media site and starting 'chopping.

That's just abominable. Not only is it an autrocious car, but they admit they cannot come up with their own designs and are blatantly ripping off others.

All respect for them, as if there were any, is forever lost.

They'll probably wait until Lincoln introduces the MKT and then try to make their ripped off copy of it. I certainly wouldn't see this being in production before the MKT! That's too original!

Wow. That's nuts.

Sad to say it's totally legal in China.
