GreatWalls of Copycat Part 2: More on the Chinese Fiat/Nissan & Scion/Toyota clones

We just got our hands on a new set of photos concerning Great Wall's Europan and Japanese clones. Starting off with the Fiat Panda clone, it looks like the Chinese automaker's designers (now that's a good one..), took the body of the Italian minicar and dressed it with a few bits and parts from Nissan's Note mini-MPV.


And since they got the recipe right with the Panda clone they decided to do the same with the Scion xA knock off by giving it a Toyota Yaris face job! We must admit though that did their best to stay as close as possible to the original model when it came to the CoolB AR which is "based" on the Scion xB. And we were wondering what the heck were all those Chinese 'journalists' doing with their papers and stencils stuck on every single car during the Paris Show media days...
