Toyoda is the original guy's name btw

I'd definitely pick up a "Tassler". Has a fake EV charging port that you flip out of the way to fill up gas.

Toyoda was the original name before they changed it to Toyota

I always thought Hyundai was off brand Honda that got a little too popular and now likes to pretend it is its own thing.

Hyundai.

Yes, Hyundai.

Go to China, there's loads of them. Top Gear did a good segment in it years ago.

I could finally get an old Fork Mustard like Ive always wanted

Mahindra is the Indian jeep knock off. China is all just knock off cars.

They are a thing. Many manufacturers outsource some of their production to poorer countries, these factories end up starting up their own brand and produce their own vehicles alongside those of the main manufacturer (who supplies components from engines to dashboard switchgear). For example, Dacia is a knock off Renault.

Tbf, we have a shit ton of knock off Chinese cars on the road in Vietnam, and even more knock off motorcycles.

Though no fun Hongda or Joops.

Best I can offer you is a toy yoda.

Kryslar, Shevrolayte, Ferd, Sbubarub, Houyandai, and Jacuzzi.

poorshe

I don't know that I would have bought a Preeis instead of a Prius, but I'd consider it.

Neice Son, Mas? Da!, Chevre? Ole!, Key Uh, Scuba Boo

Seat and Skoda are basically off brand VWs

Should be a Handa

Bullshit... We had yugos, le car, citations, chevettes... People bought that garbage when we had it to buy, but they've figured out that a car that falls apart faster than you can pay it off isn't really a great idea. Paying half the new cost for a vehicle after 40k miles is a much better way to go.

Don't they already sell Honders in Boston?

Gonna get me one of dem Furds.

I'd rather get a Jepe

I've already bought a knock off car - the Dacia jogger is just a Volvo XC90 at a 1/3rd of the cost.

Reminds me of that "Toy Yoda" radio bullshit that happens years ago:

Gimme dat Great Value car

Ssangyong licenses engines and transmissions from MB. They literally make ugly off-brand MBs.

Incidentally, Mercedes (diesel) engines and automatic transmissions are ridiculously durable and in a Ssangyong you can probably get it for cheaper.
