Honda sues!

Last Updated:

That’s right.
Honda has decided to sue the Chinese for their copy of the CR-V named the SR-V.
They even copied the name, it’s amazing.

We’ll have to see what happens with that, but no matter what, good for Honda!

if the Chinese want to enter the world market, they have to start playing by the same rules.

  1. it looks pretty great. Its like they took the front of the CR-V and mashed it against the back of a mid-90s Ford Explorer.

    The problem with the Chinese is that their Government protects them, with insane tarrifs, and forced joint ventures with foreign auto makers, as well as turning a blind eye, if not encouraging intillectual property theft.

  3. suing these bastards won’t fix the problem
    the answer starts with an h

    Yes, but it will be difficult to give your hemorrhoids to a billion chinese.

  4. Only thing is, if this is in a Red Chinese court with a Red Chinese judge controlled by the Red Chinese “government”, which has a share in the company that produced the SR-V, then Honda might not have a hope in heck.

  5. All car companies copy that is the way of the world. The japanese and koreans copied and to this day still protect their home markets. So why the outrage at the chinese, they learned the stuff from their neighbors. And saw their neighbors getting away with it. So, what else is new?

  6. I’ve read about these Chinese copies before. Apparently, their quality is insanely pitiful, and their prices, cheap. I doubt Honda is actually losing too many sales because of this pitiful quality, but they have a right to their design, as it is a blatant rip-off done by the red guys.

    Douchebag, I doubt the Chinese can deal with your Herpes, but with their ancient medicine, who knows?

  7. I actually applaud the Chinese for attemting to enter the automotive market place, however, is it really that hard to come up with a design all by yourself? I love to see different designs, whether good or bad…at least someone’s trying. The Chinese aren’t even trying…they might as well stick to thier counterfit NFL jerseys.

  9. I agree with whoever said that every one copies each other, and I know the Japaneses are good at that, take early Lexus models 90s-04 VS. Mercedes. They were copycat, but never have I seen any such as this one they Reds did. This is the same identical car there’s nothing different about it. It seems to me they just ripped off the Honda logo. The U.S. should never let such a product come to us.

  10. I don’t recall the Japanese or the Koreans ever blantantly ripping off designs like the Chinese do. Sure they may have copied some design THEMES, but not down to the point where actual car parts are interchangable! Like the Daewoo Matiz.

    Wouldn’t surprise me if parts off this copy would fit a CR-V as well.

  11. In addition to saving time, the car companies are also saving design, marketing, enginneering, research and development costs. These cost cutting measures enable the company to produce affordable, proven design automobiles. Borrowing from others have been the norm since man was born, in every culture, nationality and country. You guys with the “copycat” bashing should just get over it. Why don’t you stop downloading mp3, movies, files, games, before posting yet another hypocritical ‘copy’ bash.

  12. MAN THE PPL WHO MADE THE COPY CATS COMMENTS ARE SO STUPID. YOU AMERICANS COPIED OTHER PEOPLE’S IDEAS TOO MAN! GET REALL DOGG

  13. It wouldn’t be a big deal, except that Honda has a design patent, at ChinaCorp (whatever the name of this useless company is) is completely ignoring it. It’s just wrong in the legal sense, and in the business sense. Sad part is, this pitiful lying company will probably get off easy or completely in the courts of China. Honda will be seeing red (not just with anger).

  14. Copying a design to save costs is one thing…but if you are going to copy a proven design copy the whole design. I’ve seen crash test videos and pics of these Chinese copy cats and they are total death traps! A Honda CR-V is a safe vehicle, it’s Chinese copy cat-no matter how cheap is just not worth it.

  15. To those who say others copied, too, in defending the Red Chinese, the legal test is a bit clearer. In layman’s terms, it’s a matter of degree. Courts do take into consideration, usually, some note of automotive fashion—but in my view, and the views of many commenters here, this Chinese copy is almost like taking plans and feeding them through a Xerox machine. It probably won’t stand up in a regular court, but as I said before, if Honda is suing in China, it ain’t going to be a regular court.

  16. MAN THE PPL WHO MADE THE COPY CATS COMMENTS ARE SO STUPID. YOU AMERICANS COPIED OTHER PEOPLE’S IDEAS TOO MAN! GET REALL DOGG!

    Stupid is as stupid does — sounds like you are copying Randy Jackson, Dogg.
