Does this electric Chinese luxury sedan remind you of anything?

Hey who said the '80's were dead? (check the video for the lighting effects) or perhaps you prefer that its a car version of the Cylons from Battlestar Gallactica; regardless its about 1/3 the price of a Tesla S here in the US and will be 1/4 the price of the 'real' thing in China (which they do mention is actually selling pretty well)

I saw it on autoblog and I like it a lot. (more pictures there) http://www.autoblog.com/2015/07/27/youxia-x-chinese-tesla-model-s/#slide-3561393 It's not as knock off as some other Chinese cars such as the one the article referenced (http://autoweek.com/article/car-news/land-rover-wont-be-able-sue-chinese-automaker-evoque-lookalike. For example I think the Tesla model s looks a lot like a jag XF, I've even mistake the 2 coming up in my rear view a few times. I don't think this Chinese car would be mistaken for the Jag and many other western auto makers have cars that look as similar to each other as this is to Tesla. Most of the knock off is the similar logo, ranges and touch screen layout.

This really is the first Chinese car that I can say I wish they would bring it here. If they could sell it for the price quoted that is. I still wouldn't really want to be the first one to buy one unless I had another car as a back up, ie 3 cars for 2 drivers.
 
Youxia supposedly means "Rider" in Chinese, the owner is a big fan of Knight Rider. :roll:
I certainly wouldn't want to be the first guinea pig, and I'm sure the 286 mile version won't be anywhere near the price of a Model 3. That's probably the 40 kWh version. I don't think Tesla has anything to worry about.
