Which one of these is the real Land Cruiser, and which is the Chinese knockoff? They've gotten so good, you can't even tell the difference.

Wow. The differences are so subtle.

Well done, China!

Looks like they knocked off 1/3 of the length.

If you read the article the OP article pulls from it's not even been determined if you can actually buy the thing.

quote:

Very few details about the vehicle are known. Found at the rear is lettering that reads Kuluze but it doesn’t seem as though Kuluze is a Chinese car manufacturer. It’s not even known if this is a planned production model, a one-off, or if it could in fact be a distinct vehicle that has simply been dressed up as a Land Cruiser by an aftermarket firm.

There's a real chance that the chinese knockoff may even be better.

I can't tell the difference between these two pictures. Which one is the real Chevy Silverado and which one is the Chinese alternative?





If I can't tell, the average pickup user can't either.

That’s great.

South Korea is actually really good at perfecting knockoffs. Obviously light years ahead of China

Admit it...you can't tell the difference between the real Mercedes and the Chinese alternative:



And you are probably looking at the below photo thinking that this is 15 year old BMW X5. Think again! This vehicle has nothing to do with BMW. It's an all original, state of the art 2022 model Chinese vehicle.

Shouldn't be too hard to do when most of the aftermarket body parts come from China anyway.

All jokes aside, the new Land Cruiser is hideous. It looks like a minivan. I don't understand why Toyota doesn't bring back the FJ Cruiser to compete with the Bronco and Wrangler; they would be printing money if they did.
