FrankenRolla

[ToyotaFreak]

Based on the previous Corolla Altis (I recognized the armrest on the doors.). Both are powered by Mitsubishi engines.

F3 R (Hatchback)

[ToyotaFreak]

F3 Sedan. Rear end is an exact copy of a pre-facelift Honda City/ Fit Aria. Doesn't match at all!

MAN...thats so rolla!!!

[trdsaads]

You're right. It doesnt work!

It looks reaaly ***** IMO! The rear of the hatch is looks like it's from a Holden Viva for crying out loud!

[ToyotaFreak]

Byd is the name of the company who made these cars (They manufacture batteries for cell phones, before they went into the car manufacturing business.).

The same company also makes a pirated Renault Megane CC with a Mercedes Benz CLK front end!

I know there is a Ferrari bodykit for the Peugeot 406. I did hear something about a MR2 once I think.

I think it was in china where they made the fake ferrari and when ferrari found out they just raged.

[zzrolla]

that first red hatch looks like it has the front end from the Toyota Altis or the us spec 9th gen corolla and then the rear end looks all Holden/daewoo viva hatch.

read about this before, there really isn't a copyright law for car design so they can knock off whatever they please

Nope, it was Italy.

Those Pontiac Fiero-based Ferrari/ Lamborghini kit cars/ replicas are very common in the US. Nothing to do with the Chinese made cars (Which are blatant copies of the original, right down to the interior and/ or engine or made from grafted on mix n match body parts that don't match.).
