China Automobile Deutschland are facing legal action from BMW for producing a car which looks startlingly similar to the latest X5. Called the CEO, the car was due to be unveiled at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show, but BMW say they will sue them if it appears.
The same company are being sued by Mercedes-Benz for copyright infringement over a near-copy of the SMART ForTwo. A spokesman for the company claims that both their cars are perfectly legal products. The IAA, who organise the Frankfurt show, will remove the entire display of any exhibitor who has a court injunction filed against them.
