It has a 3 cylinder 69 hp motor and a stick. I don't know if Chrysler should sue them or work out a manufacturing agreement :shock: I wonder how long it will be before we see some chinese knockoffs of our Libby's. :roll:

They are the Japan of this century. Japan started off stealing intellectual property, especially automotive, and eventually went mainstream. Maybe China is following that plan?

Is it me, or are at least some of the directional tires facing the wrong direction?

It's ust like all the Chinese 4 whhelers/scooters in the US, they are almost identical to the big name Japanese 4 wheelers, but 1/2 the price, actually got one in my garage.
I think it would be a neat weekend offroad toy, doubt I would drive it on the road. Wait, yes, maybe I would.
