If you cant stop them from ripping your idea's off, just kinda sorta have them build cars for you instead?!

Zoom wasnt Chevy suing Chery for multiple copy right infringments? Curious as to how they feel about all this now.

I'd rock a car like that. Cheap version of the minicooper? As long as it doesn't have that horrible center-mounted gauge cluster. Tach front-and-center, people!!!

It will take ten years or longer after they start production to make a good car.
