Chinese Car Maker Rips Off Forester

Wow. These guys must have bought up all the 03-05 Forester tooling.

You probably think that we're pulling your leg, but the vehicle pictured above is not a second-generation Subaru Forester, it's actually Yema Auto's all-new SQJ6451 CUV. The awkwardly named five-door cloneover crossover will make a cameo appearance at this month's Shanghai Auto Show with sales scheduled to begin in China in May with a base price of around 60,000 Yuan or about $8,800 or €6,500 with the current exchange rates.

Sorry to say, Yema Auto's... genetic engineers did not have enough time to develop a turbocharged boxer engine so Chinese buyers of the SQJ6451 (they could have at least come up with a nicer name like Gardener) will have to do with two four-cylinder units with a displacement of 1.5 and 1.7-liters producing 97 and 130 horsepower respectively.

Re: Chinese Car Maker Rips Off Forester

I have seen similar things with previous generation jettas. This only spells bad news for someone who gets in a small accident, a repair shop could use inferior Chinese parts which look exactly the same, but may not be made as well, and not know the difference. Another reason to check a cars history before you buy used as well...Very troubling.
