Great Wall Automobile Xiong debuted this, the Coolbear, last week in China, proving, once again, that originality is a scarce commodity when it comes to Chinese car design.

Although an argument could be made that it’s hard to make a rolling box not look like a Scion xB, it would seem that Great Wall didn’t even try.

Nice logo, though.
