Chery: We Want to Compete with Audi, BMW and Mercedes
posted in Car News Articles |
Most of us first heard of Chery in 2004 when the Chinese automaker’s QQ minicar was accused of being a copy of GM’s Daewoo-developed Matiz, pretty much right down to the last spot weld. Attempts to sue Chery failed to gain traction in Chinese courts. At one point Chinese officials claimed they could find no evidence Chery had copied a GM car, even though the doors on the QQ were interchangeable with those of the Matiz. GM dropped the case in 2005 after having reached a settlement with Chery, apparently with the encouragement of the Chinese government.
