|  Geely says they didn't copy Rolls Royce
Geely says Rolls Royce's copy claims are baseless
Posted Yesterday, 10:32 AM by Kenneth Hall
The interpretation of 'different' might be the most original creation at Geely
China's car industry is infamous for its tendency to 'borrow' details from European carmakers, often to the point where the word 'clone' is used with some accuracy. The latest car to catch legal heat for the practice: Geely's GE, a remarkably obvious take on the Rolls Royce Phantom.
But Geely doesn't see the similarity that's got Rolls Royce considering legal action. Geely spokeswoman Zhang Xiaoshu told the AFP, "they are actually different.... people may feel they are the same at the first glance, but the details are certainly different."
Playing fast and loose with concepts like 'different' and 'copying' is a luxury of doing business in China, where the government is notoriously permissive of such infringements. Unfortunately for Geely and other China-based carmakers, however, their progress into other markets will be heavily impeded by legal action in the trademark and copyright-protective jurisdictions of Europe and the U.S. if they continue these antics.
Rolls Royce understands that due to the huge price and quality disparity between the Phantom ($365,000) and the GE ($44,000), there is likely to be very little in the way of confusion or competition between the two, but it is nonetheless keeping its options open. "Our colleagues in Shanghai are taking a serious look at it," a Rolls Royce spokesman told the UK's Daily Mail. "Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is very protective of its brand image and takes seriously any attempt to imitate its products."  |

I'm sorry but what the hell kind of name is Geely? Why hasn't anyone said this yet? "Hey baby, wanna come pop some Crys' in my GEELY?"...Just doesn't ring well...
I'm all for Rolls Royce taking them for everything they have. Rolls only has 2 cars, and they spend alot of time and money coming up with design and production. They shouldn't get away with this.

Geely pronouces exactly the same as its brand name in Chinese.
it's like Tata auto, it has its own meaning in Punjabi or something, and same as many other japanese auto brands.

ok, so other than the grill and side profile, it just looks like a super cheap RR. only a real douche would buy this.
i say whatever, let them sell it in china, they can be for the little bosses. the back only has 1 seat god damnit, other than the girl on the floor, this thing is a joke.

Geely has a meaning in Mandarin...means well / good fortune.
just because you don't understand it doesn't mean its stupid.
