Apparently, the French have joined the Chinese automakers that rip off vehicle designs and may be giving them a run for their money. The French Chatenet CH26 that rips off both MINI and the Alfa Romeo Mito.
This two seater is powered by a 523cc two-cylinder diesel engine that generates 5.4 hp, and it claims to weigh a mere 769 pounds. Top speed for the Chatenet is 28mph and it assures a fuel efficiency of 75mpg. It still costs $19,000. Maybe the Chinese made knockoffs are a better value!?!
