Coming or Going?



A Renault concept from the '60s, the 900 was sort of a forbearer to the modern minivan, except for the fact that it had a trunk, which made for an unusual backwards looking car.

Attack of the Clones: BYD Fug6


Chinese automakers are new to the scene. Although they haven't hit our shores (yet) things are picking up fast. However, many of the cars suffer from being clones of other cars. It's like they're rushing so much to put the cars on the road they have to leech off others for inspiration (sorta like Hyundai does once and a while).

This company, BYD, not only ripped off the BMW logo but also the design of the current 7-series in their new F6. Off all the BMWs out, couldn't they have picked a better one to rip off?
