Great find.

Apparently the maker (Byd Auto in China) has touted the car as follows:

"The F8 certainly has some Mercedes SL influence, but they are reporting that this vehicle is the first hardtop drop-top in China with "independent intellectual property rights."

This independent thinking is also clearly reflected in their logo:

"hmm...i'll think i will put the side fins near the rear tire instead of the front tire --just so there won't be any confusion with the Mercedes SL."

The chinese seem to be morally lacking and will steal anything they can. Very sad. But they are stupid enough to invest all there money in the USA so if we ever get a cold they will died from the results

I know they steal intellectual rights that don't belong to them and reverse manufacture anything they can get their hands on. They are stupid to invest in the USA, as much as they have, they now own a big chunk of the USA and if we don't do well they do poorly, were kind of married . it ain't hard to be the fastest growing when you start in the basement and you have excess pop.
