Anyone see this or know anything about it? I popped onto Goggle this morning and it was my greeting page!
I would think someone has posted something but I could not find anything using the manufacturer name.
Here is the link to the news feed.

I think it's cool. Too bad we will never see that in the US.
Although I agree about the Chinese overtly copying current and past production vehicles, I think I can give them a pass here (for the most part). VW abandoned the T2 and it's styling many, many years ago. I know VW still fiercely defends against usage of the air-cooled images and styling, but they refuse to support any air-cooled vehicles.
I think the Chinese bus is probably far enough away from the original to not cross a line here.

I think it is Karma. The Chinese have been making most of the cheaper parts, for air cooled cars, for years! It was inevitable!
Does not mean I would purchase one, but it has a flare to it. _________________ Jimbo

I seriously doubt the US would allow imports from that company. They have a history of ripping off designs against world laws. Isn't that the company that made a copy of the BMW crossover a few years back? Man, that thing was copied EXACTLY.
I still think its cool though. The one time I've seen the Chinese copy a style, but make it in a different flair. |

Kinda looks like it was a VW Bus inspired by the designers of “Monster Mutt”.
