Looks like the designer of the Qoros has been rummaging in the cast off parts bins of Subaru, Nissan, Dacia and VAG. Calling it an Octavia rival is a bit premature; Skoda and the Octavia have an unrivalled quality & reliability record in the sector, a motorsport heritage and lots of customer goodwill. Qoros have none. As for Gert Hildebrand being responsible for the vehicle's styling, he hardly deserves any recognition for "designing" something that is so derivative and unoriginal. Just another chinese car from just another chinese car manufacturer (for the time being!)
