Chinese car companies have often been accused of copying design features - in bits or by loads - by global automotive giants. The latest could be the Ora Punk Car electric vehicle which, from almost every angle, could be mistaken for a Volkswagen Beetle in the first few glances. Ora is a brand owned by China's Great Wall Motors and it recently showcased its Punk Cat EV at the ongoing Shanghai Motor Show. Quite understandably, the folks over at Volkswagen aren't soft purring over the Punk Cat. Past tussles of a similar nature have hardly been a deterrent for local Chinese automakers accused of aping designs.
