Cheap Range Rover look alike


Our Chinese brothers are at it again!

It is truly a carbon-copy of the Range Rover Evoque. As far as copying is an art, this is a masterpiece. Same overall design, same wheel arches, same shut line, same vents behind the front-wheels arches, same headlights; same grille, same roof, same mirrors. Same everything except its just a fraction of the price.

It was designed by a little-known car maker LAND WIND. Who launched the car with brand name as X7 at the Guangzhou motor show in China.

 Can you tell the difference?
 
And it has sparked a furious response from Jaguar Land Rover.

Dr Ralf Speth, chief executive of Land Rover, said he will be complaining to Chinese officials over the X7.
He told Autocar: The fact that this kind of copying is ongoing in China is very disappointing. As a company we have invested heavily in China with our joint venture partner Chery.
That commitment is based on a clear business plan, that allows us to hit our sales targets at clear prices. Anything that damages the potential profitability of our plant damages the integrity of those plans.

The Range Rover copy (Land wind X7) cost just $14,000 compared to the original which is about $40,000 and with some celebrities auctioning their customized models for way more than that.
I know many drivers looking for a fashionable car at a bargain price might be considering this but i would advise you wait for the safety inspection results.

Motivational Monday: Live your dreams

Image
Good evening my JAB peeps, its that day of the week where I share some inspiring words to keep our head high even through the turbulent waters. Today we would be talking about Living our dreams and the prime obstacle to that is FEAR. You can either live your dreams or live your fear. I think that many people are not living their dreams. But are living their fears. So I want to ask you a question. Why are you living in fear? What are you afraid? We all have fears, we all have something that is blocking, or holding us back. And as we begin to realize that, you see that most people are not living their true potentials. They are not doing all the thing they want to do. Its all because of fear. Some people call fear (False evidence or expectations appearing as real). Make a decision today that you are going to box and bury your fears. Decide that you going to live life on a new level. Seeking out new horizons. That you are going to find more love, more joy and more ways to give b
