I see Haima has gone from building licensed Mazdas, to cars that look like Mazdas, now to making Buick knockoffs.

Other than the rear, it's clearly a Regal knockoff with a bit of LaCrosse in the sides.

But the source said that only one driver scored points...

I'm currently doing the Super 1600 Category and it has 6 drivers.

For the other championship, no interesting to have a championship with only one car.

I'm not sure if the rally cars are the same as rallycross cars, so I didn't link the Peugeot 306.

Sorry for double post, but Mário barbosa drove an ex-Sébastien Loeb DS3.

Although that there were 4 Supercar contestant drivers, Dany Moreau does not score points as he wasn't registred for the championship.

What surprises me most, is that Scion doesn't have a hybrid car. It's Toyota after all! It might have been a good idea to sell the Toyota Aqua/Prius c as a Scion. But I've read reviews, and they are not positive at all about the Prius c (even though the Aqua became Japan's best selling car in no-time).

Also, Chrysler isn't that big if you think about it. There's Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram (and possibly Fiat if you count that). So it still doesn't offer much more than the Toyota group.

Makes sense.

Also, I'm really surprised how this brand still sticks around with such little product.

I mean, sure, Chrysler only has 3 cars at the moment, but they're part of a company with a large variety of vehicles scattered across multiple brands.

With Scion, on the other hand, they're one of just three in the US market, and the other two, Toyota and Lexus, have much larger lineups and there are so many other Toyota models not sold in the US that might make decent Scion products.

Namely, the Ractis (could make a good iR or iV), SAI (The Lexus HS version failed here, but I could see the SAI coming here as an iS), and the Avensis Wagon (which is already related to the existing tC, and maybe they could fit the tC's engine in it, could make a good iW).

Yeah I usually discontinue cars when the stock is sold out. One exception however, is the Nissan Altima Coupé, as it is still listed on the Nissan site as a 2013 model, but I'm pretty sure autoblog reported they were sold out a while ago.

T6 AWD is currently the only powertrain offered in the US market, with the T8 Plug-In Hybrid arriving in the fourth quarter of 2015, with no plans for the D4 or D5 diesels to come anytime soon.

Just looked over the Scion websites for both the US and Canada, and it seems the iQ is discontinued in the US market, as it's still listed as a 2014 on the US page, but listed on the Canadian site as a 2015.

It's exactly the same for the xB, listed on the US page as 2014, Canada as 2015.

Likely, this means the 2014's are still on the site to help Scion dealers in the US sell off remaining stock, as new models are no longer being shipped to US Scion dealers.

This basically means that in the US, Scion only has two 2015 model year cars, the FR-S and tC, while the upcoming iA (rebadged Mazda3 sedan built in Mexico) and iM (rebadged Toyota Auris, probably imported from Japan, and not from the UK) are slated to be 2016 models when they arrive in the third quarter in the US, while the iA will be sold in Canada as the Toyota Yaris Sedan, with only the iM being added to the lineup.

That would mean that by the time the 2016 model year comes around for Scion, they'll have 4 models in the US and 3 in Canada, with the likely discontinuation of the iQ and xB in Canada after the 2015 model year.

Ford EcoSport knockoff?

Clearly a Chrysler 200 knockoff...that actually looks a bit better than the actual 200.

Hint of Audi in the back, dash of Kia up front...nice combination, to be honest.

Wow, even Zotye has jumped on the Range Rover Evoque knockoff bandwagon...

What the heck is this? This has to be one of the ugliest concepts I've ever seen. Especially with those awful wheels and tires.

Faux Jeep Cherokee front end, Toyota FJ Cruiser-like rear pillar with matching blind spot, and faux Jaguar F-Type taillights.

Seems many companies, Chinese or not, have been copying the F-Type taillights lately.

What is this supposed to be, a licensed Chinese built version of the Tazzari Zero?

The body is almost a perfect match (other than the front end), right down to physical dimensions.

Hahaha that's interesting alright. I wonder why they put American plates on for the promotional pictures.

Interesting fact: the license plate on the MU in the top image is currently in use on a 2009 Volkswagen Golf GTI.

Plate on the one in the bottom image isn't in use, or is on a car old enough so it doesn't need to go through emissions tests in California.

i think it's in the programmation, an automatic version. Like if you put Citroen, it will put Citroën

I don't know where they find Mehdi Bennani to drive for SLR. He crashed into Huff in Argentina now he hit Valente twice.

Strange, when I click "add car" it says Land Rover, so someone is changing it manually. Anyway, I'll change all of them.

They should be happy that this car goes at all.

I've only noticed this now, but why do all the Land Rover cars have the Land-Rover name? Is there supposed to be a "-" between the words?
