Mercedes may sue to stop Euro sales of Chinese Smart clone

Posted by admin  Published in Maserati, EV/Plug-in

Last fall a battery-powered clone of the first generation Smart ForTwo turned up in China before it was quickly stomped down. Another one is now expected to be displayed at next month’s Frankfurt Motor Show and China Automobile Deutschland wants to start European imports. The Shuanghuan Noble is a four seater that looks much like the Smart and is expected to cost 7,000 euros.

As expected, Mercedes is

not happy about the view and is threatening legal action to stop the little car. They have already been in touch with the manufacturer but probably won’t comment publicly until the car appears in public at the show.
