BEIJING — Brilliance Auto, based in Shenyang and partnered with BMW, will bring several new models to the 2010 Beijing Auto Show, including a tiny pure-electric commuter and a sporty compact sedan.
Many of the parts — seats, tires, carpets, roof among them — on the Smart-size electric car are made of recyclable materials, including soybeans and biomass. The baby EV measures less than 120 inches long and is equipped with regenerative brakes, a one-click operating system and an intelligent vehicle information management system.
Brilliance has face-lifted its midrange Junjie sedan, sold in some export markets as the BS4, and has added a performance-oriented Junjie FSV Sport, featuring larger tires, an oversize rear wing, redesigned grille and foglamps and an upgraded cockpit. Other features include automatic headlamps, keyless entry and push-button start.
Also new on the Brilliance stand is the Jinbei H2L minivan, intended mainly for commercial users.

I hadn't heard of a Toyota Hiage so I checked them out; definitely looks copied to me as well. And to me, the silver one looks like it was "heavily inspired" by BMW. The other two look oddly familiar but I can't place them...

The last minivan copied the appearance of TOYOTA HIAGE... The rest of them do look good.
