Usually reserved for the back streets of New York City, a knockoff was showed at the Shanghai Motor Show by the Chinese-manufacturer Geely. Called the GE and clearly inspired the Rolls-Royce Phantom sedan, the concept has obtained the attention of Rolls-Royce, in particular its legal team, which is considering action against the company. Unfortunately, although certain aspects—like the grille and the Spirit of Ecstasy hood ornament—are protected, basic design might be harder to guard. Besides, hasn’t Kia been doing this for years?
