Fake In China: The Suzuki Alto Gets An Identical Twin

The Chinese auto press now routinely whacks the innovation by replication that  is still prevalent in the Chinese car industry. An egregious case: Zoyte copied the Suzuki Alto nearly 1:1 for the Zoyte Z100, which is expected to debut at the Beijing Auto Show in April. Nevertheless, an unrepentant Zoyte was caught by Carnewschina testing the new Z100 side-by-side with the Alto (top. The cars are not being tested on ice. It is an attempt to obscure the location where the pictures were taken.)

This is an earlier spy shot of the Z100.  The car is expected to cost  between 30.000 and 35.000 yuan ($4,750 and $5,550.)

This is the Suzuki Alto as made in China by Chang'an-Suzuki. It starts at 45.000 yuan ($7,130.)
