A brace of Land Rover and Jeep inspired off-roaders have been launched by Beijing Auto Works (BAW) at the Beijing motor show.
BAW is an offshoot of BAIC, which was in the running to buy Saab from GM last year. Eventually, it bought for the previous generation Saab 9-5 platform, the pre-2006 Saab 9-3 platform, a third mystery platform, two engines and two transmissions.
Old Saab 9-5 resurfaces in China
The BAW B90 is part Range Rover, part Jeep Grand Cherokee. The BAW B40 is more Jeep Wrangler in styling. In addition, the company is launching the C30 Electric Concept.

Re: China makes a Land Rover
I wonder if its an incredible coincidence or a very very subtle nod to Land Rover that the name they have chosen 'B90' is in fact a Solihull postcode, Solihull of course being Land Rover's home.

Forget the car, look at the hotties! Rwowr.... I hate political correctness!
Re: China makes a Land Rover
Who says it's a knock-off? There's not a lot to choose from on the design front on big 4x4s. Did Audi copy Lexus? No, of course not, it's just yet another 4x4!
