Yema F99[edit]

The Yema F99 is the first car of Sichuan Yema Automobile (Chuanqi Yema), and the Yema F99 is based on the Austin Maestro platform. The Yema F99 was powered by a Toyota sourced 1.5 liter engine with 72 kW and 132 nm of torque. Prices of the Yema F99 ranges from around 50,000 yuan to 70,000 yuan, with the price range before discontinuation from 47,800 yuan to 49,800 yuan.[2]

Styling was always controversial with the whole Yema F-series crossovers starting from the Yema F99, as the styling heavily resembles the second generation Subaru Forester.

On a similar note, these will be known to the hardcore Autoshite fraternity, but they are new to me (and this thread). The Ferves Ranger. Apart from the ridiculous levels of cute, I also dig the none flush fit doors and ludicrous levels of positive camber on the rear wheels. I do miss the baby off/soft roader, the niche is now well and truly occupied by quads and atvs but they lack the sense of fun you got from a Mehari or a Moke or a Kubelwagen or whatever it was.

Feel the build qualitay! Covered in rust on the production line - the Austin Rover legacy lives on.

It's funny, as they also tarted it up as an Audi...
Chinese Clones of Audi A4, Infiniti EX35, & VW Tiguan - Unfinished Man

And VW ...
Made in China – Yema Auto cloneaza Audi A4, VW Tiguan si Infiniti EX -  Noutati auto

They then also raided the parts bin to throw the Audi grill onto the Forester body...

I need to see the engineering behind that 

Difficult to see what else they could do other than a pair of bevel drives, perhaps with the freewheels that SAAB liked to provide decoupling in order to avoid harmonics.
