What ingenious about it? Seriously, this is just racist. We are only talking about it because we don't expect Chinese people to be able to build a car.

I would design and build something much better, cheaper, faster, and with higher MPG. Like a streamlined trike.

At least its rear engine and rear wheel drive, that alone makes this car better then the rebodied a 2002 Mercury Cougar to look like a Bugatti Veyron that made the headlines awhile back.
