The Chinese have been known to copy certain products and vehicles are no exception. In fact you may be surprised to note that they have cloned the previous generation Lexus RX350. The S6 has a different grille and revised headlamps/tail lights but its design shamelessly copies that of the RX350.
But what makes this story even more intriguing and apparently quite frustrating for Toyota / Lexus officials, is that believe it or not, we discovered that BYD Auto has actually succeeded in patenting the S6’s design at the European trademark office.
It is scheduled to go on sale in China later on in the year. It makes you wonder how Toyota and Lexus feels about this cloning incident.
