the fear of China is the beginning of wisdom as Chinese Company reveals Copy of Range Rover E-Vogue For $22,000

China has always been a country to watch out for, they replicate almost anything , they have the man power, intellectual power and financial power but known in the market as king of replicas lol .. Anyways, UK giant car company Jaguar Land Rover is enraged after a relatively unknown Chinese car company called LandWind revealed a car that looked about exactly like the Range Rover E-vogue. With a price tag of $22,000 , which is $48,000 less than the Evogue that costs about $70,000. Above is the Evogue and below is the Chinese car. It was launched at a motor show in China last week.

Jaguar Land Rover say they may take legal action against the company. Jaguar Land Rover chief executive Dr Ralf Speth told Autocar magazine:

‘The fact that this kind of copying is ongoing in China is very disappointing. The intellectual property (IP) is owned by Jaguar Land Rover and if you break that IP then you are in breach of international regulations.’

Sponsored Study Finds Motor Vehicle Crashes the No.1 Cause Teen Deaths in the U.S.

Found this interesting article on a car scoop website and thought I share  . About 2,500 teens die in motor vehicle crashes each year in the U.S., with accidents being the leading cause of death for this demographic. Fatalities are split between teen drivers (56 percent) and passengers (44 percent), according to a study conducted by Safe Kids Worldwide funded as part of a $2 million grant from the General Motors Foundation.
The report called “Teens in Cars” was based on a national survey of 1,000 teens aged between 13 and 19. Probably the most worrying find was that in half of the fatal crashes, the teen was not wearing a seat belt.
As a matter of fact, one in four teens taking part in the survey admitted to not wearing a seat belt on every ride, while one in two teens said they felt unsafe when riding with a teen driver.
“The results of this research further underscore the importance of reaching teens with the life-saving messages to buckle up during every ride and to speak up when they don’t feel secure,” said Mike Robinson, GM vice president of Sustainability and Global Regulatory Affairs who serves on the boards of both Safe Kids Worldwide and the GM Foundation.
“It can be uncomfortable for anyone to speak up when they feel unsafe riding in a vehicle, and perhaps even more so for teens riding with their peers,” he added.
According to the study, one in four of all preventable injuries among children is caused by motor vehicle accidents. Scroll down to read more of the study’s findings from the infographic posted below.

Car Scoop - Toyota's Three-Wheeler EV i-ROAD Concept Officially Unveiled Ahead of Geneva Premiere

Asians wouldn't kill me with Hi-Tech o!!
Compact, narrow two-seaters that combine the agility of a motorcycle with the protection of the elements of a car are the new niche automotive manufacturers have discovered. After Renault’s Twizzy, Toyota today unveiled its own take in this new form of transportation in the form of the i-ROAD concept that will debut tomorrow in the 83rd Geneva Auto Show.
Like the Twizzy, it seats two in tandem but, unlike the Renault, it features one rear wheel instead of two, making it a three-wheeler that leans into corners like a motorbike. Toyota’s Personal Mobility Vehicle (PMV) is controlled by a conventional steering wheel and the “Active Lean” technology that automatically balances the vehicle when cornering or going over rough surfaces based on the steering angle, vehicle speed and a gyro-sensor.
The i-ROAD is 2,350 mm long, 1,445 mm high and rides on a 1,700 mm wheelbase. Toyota says that its 850 mm width makes it no wider than a typical motorcycle, thus offering great maneuvering in traffic, easier parking and a minimum turning circle of just three meters.
The Japanese carmaker’s PMV is powered by two 2kW motors mounted on the front wheels. The typical driving range is around 50 km (30 miles) and the battery can be fully charged from a domestic power source in three hours – plus, being an EV, it has zero emissions.
In spite of being as narrow as a motorbike, the i-ROAD requires no helmet or special skills – just a regular car license. It is designed to be fitted with a weatherproof closed body and can offer a car-like environment with features such as interior lighting, heating, an audio system and Bluetooth connectivity.
