Honda Takes Chinese Copycats To Court
A top car company is taking legal action against a rival manufacturer for copying its products - and this could be court exhibit number one.
01st July 2004
Honda is suing Chinese firm ShuangHuan Auto over a lookalike version of its CR-V off-roader. The 4x4 is seen here at the Beijing Motor Show, and the cloning even extends to the name. Amazingly, this car is called the SR-V, and may interest Audi's lawyers, too - it has half of the German firm's four-ringed logo on the bonnet! Hironori Kanayama, president of Honda Automobile China, said: "We can't stand by and see our worldwide quality compromised by copies."
