The bootleg X5. I've seen it in magazines but never thought I would see one in person. When I saw it, I said "Give me the camera quick. The X5 look alike." The owner of the car must be thinking we are admiring his car but really, we are laughing at it.

Freakin knock offs....Look at the front end, looks like it might be a Toyota front end or subaru...

Wow, I had read about it and seen auto show pictures, but that is disturbing. I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

as a replica, it actually was pretty well done... ive seen worse

wow - i've never even heard of replica cars to be honest, Much less a replica of mine lol. He even has running boards.. i dont :-( LOL

what is it based on, a rav4 or something of the like

That's a chinese production car made by Shuanghuan
 

BMW is fighting to stop them from being brought into europe.

google Chinese X5 for more info or check out this Motor Trend article

I'm sure there are alot of car designers looking for jobs - instead of making a copy, or paying a designer to make a copy -hire some new creative ones to make your car.

Where did you snap that pic?
