BMW loses X5 rip-off copyright case against Shuanghuan CEO in Italy
It doesnt take a genius to know that Shuanghuan Automobile ripped off the design of BMW X3 (tail lamps) and first generation X5 SUVs when it styled the Shuanghuan CEO. Even the name is similiar to the X5 The boss is backs tagline when it was launched in Malaysia.
But apparently a court in Milan, Italy couldnt see that, and rejected BMWs claim that the Chinese SUV infringed its copyright. BMW won a similiar case on its home grounds in Munich in July this year.

Chinese carmakers eye Malaysian markets
Leepservice
By LEE PANG SENG
THE recent Malaysian Premier’s visit to China has opened the doors to more economic opportunities for local businessmen and entrepreneurs, including a major development project in Weifang Prefecture, Shandong, south of Beijing.
To strike a balance, it means the opening of the Malaysian market to more Chinese investments.
Inroad : Several Chery models are already available in the Malaysian market.
Although the automotive industry is not one of the key areas, it doesn’t mean entrepreneurs in this sector can’t venture into it.
The presence of the Chinese automotive brands here is not exactly new as Chery had been introduced to the market since 2005, although the commercial vehicle sector (trucks) saw the entry of DongFeng a year earlier.
In the second half of 2005, there was another attempt to introduce a third Chinese brand under the name of JAW (Joint Auto Works), featuring a commercial truck, an MPV, an SUV and even a compact car. These vehicles look like those from the Great Wall range.
Not much was heard of these JAW vehicles following their launch at what was supposed to be its headquarters in the Kepong area. Perhaps, there were legal issues concerning its vehicles, such as the Toyota Unser-lookalike MPV and the compact car that looked like a Perodua Kenari. The SUV also reminded one of an old generation Japanese model.
Naza, too, has a Chinese-sourced car under its wings. This was the Sutera, and the facelift version, which was introduced as the Forza a year ago.
With the Sutera, the Naza Group was, of course, the first to go CKD with a Chinese car, believed to be based on a Chenghe model. And the demand for this compact car remains quite stable to this day.
Based on that order, the Chana range could count as the fifth Chinese automotive name to set foot here.
In fact, Changan Berjaya Auto is so confident of the Chana range making good inroads here, the vehicles – compact car Era CV6 and compact SUV Era CM8 – were launched as locally assembled vehicles. Their appealing prices (of below RM40,000) may be the factor behind this confidence.
There remain a few more Chinese automotive names – Brilliance, Byd, Honggi, Geely, JMC, to name some - that may persuade Malaysian automotive entrepreneurs to consider for the local market, especially now that conditions appear to be conducive.
Kah Motors, for one, a name once linked to Honda and more recently to Hyundai, might see this as an opportunity to re-establish its presence in the automotive industry.
After all, its sister company, Oriental Assemblers, is already assembling the Chana range. That means it is gaining valuable experience in the assembly of vehicles from China.
This would help should the Oriental Group, which recently relinquished its hold on some of the Hyundai range – Accent, Elantra and Sonata – to decide to continue investing in the local automotive market.
It may even follow a similar business model as that of Changan Berjaya Auto, which is to use Malaysia as a production and distribution hub for the Asean region.
It makes sense as those in the China automotive sector are looking for avenues to distribute their cars in this part of the world.
The Chinese range currently in the market offers an attractive price, even against the national cars, as is the case with the Chana vehicles.
Their build quality may not be up there yet, especially against the Japanese, but they are promising as A to B vehicles for those who are not fussy about this aspect of the vehicle.
After the Japanese and Koreans, are we ready for a Chinese automotive onslaught ?

Chery and JAC to merge
23 July 2009
Chery and JAC are to officially merge and become Da-An Motors according to media reports from early this morning. The two car companies are both owned and operated by Anhui provincial government and are set to merge later this year to become Da-An Motors according to a plan shown to the Shanghai Securities, which was then passed onto the press.
The merger is likely to happen by the end of the year, and will make for quite a force in the Chinese automotive market. Chery was set up by the Wuhu local government to provide jobs in the area, and JAC was set up under similar circumstances. JAC set up a JV with Hyundai to build MPV’s for the Chinese market, which has served them well so far. During 2008, JAC’s sales fell due to a weakened demand in the MPV sector, but the introduction of a small car range has given JAC the boost it needs to continue growing. Chery have become very good at making small hatchback cars, and plan on moving into the premium and compact segment with the launch of several new cars later this year. The two companies product line up does overlap, especially as Chery are planning to get into the JAC stronghold of MPV production.
Da-An Motors will give Anhui the production base it needs to garner the much competed title of ‘ The Chinese Detroit ’ with a large sea port quite close by, as well as being surrounded by suppliers, it could be that Anhui takes the crown from Chongqing.

Dongfeng to buy Holden ?
Holden, the iconic Australian brad, under GM provided some of the cars sold under GM Wuling. Now, it's up for sale.
A recent media report coming directly from Australia’s own media has said that Dongfeng might be interested in taking over the iconic Australian brand, Holden
According to the Sydney Morning Herald on Thursday, Li Shaozhu, the vice-president of Dongfeng Motor Corp., revealed an interest in Holden after leading Australian Trade Minister Simon Crean and Industry Minister Kim Carr on a tour of the company’s factories in Wuhan. Dongfeng, China’s third-largest carmaker, is said to have held talks with GM already. Australian officials strongly denied the report, saying they had no plans to sell the Australian automaker.
Chinese carmakers are eyeing Opel, Saab, Hummer and other GM brands. Beijing Automotive Industry Holding is competing with Canadian car parts maker Magna International to acquire Opel, and if that deal falls through it will acquire Saab, according to a recent report by the South China Morning Post. Meanwhile, Chinese automaker Geely has begun talks to buy Sweden’s Volvo brand from Ford.
This has then been swiftly denied by just about everyone
AN EXECUTIVE at China’s third-largest car maker says the company has made contact about buying Holden from its distressed American parent, General Motors, prompting immediate denials from Holden and the Federal Government.
The vice-president of Dongfeng Motor Corporation, Li Shaozhu, revealed his interest in Holden after taking the Trade Minister, Simon Crean, and Industry Minister, Kim Carr, through his factories in Wuhan.
Asked whether his company had considered buying an Australian car maker, Mr Li said: “We are paying close attention to the impact the financial crisis has had on the international automotive industry and we’re keen about utilising such resources.”
Asked specifically about Holden, he said: “We’ve been paying attention and there have been contacts” - at which point Mr Li’s translator offered her own explanation. Mr Li told the translator, again in Chinese: “You don’t say what I didn’t say”, and the interview, recorded by the Herald, abruptly ended.
The Federal Government appears to be particularly sensitive about talk of selling the Holden brand, after it recently pledged $6.2 billion to the car industry.
“The Australian subsidiaries of Ford, General Motors and Toyota are not for sale,” Senator Carr told the Herald.
Why Dongfeng would want to take over Holden is a mystery, they have a few self designed vehicles, whilst the majority seems to have been plucked from GM’s portfolio and badge engineered for the Aussie market. What Dongfeng could gain is the Holden brand, but should it fall into Chinese hands patriotic Australians are more than likely to jump over onto the Ford bandwagon.
