      There is a reason. The Hyundai that looked like a merc was actually running merc hardware up front. If you pulled the grille it was a mercedes part number. They basically sold their old parts and molds to those companies to make a little extra green.

      Those cars are HORRIBLE. Nothing like what came out of Korea. The one Chinese car to make it into a western market dropped in europe last year. It got a 0 star NCAP rating, despite the NCAP being easy to get 4-5 stars. Even SovBlock cars get 4 stars. Fucking Trabants.
      Im now E30less.
