i guess its chinese made. ive read that the chinese have copied a couple of toyotas car and other cars as well. they have a model 99% like the rav4

DUDE I think you are on to something. From the looks of it they also stole the HEADRESTS and SEATBELTS and CARGO NET COVER oh my god they stole like all the features from the F50! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? It's a fucking TABLE bentley and jag and mbz have been using them for a GRIZZOP if you think nissan made the adjustable rear table you've got be joking.

El presidente has those tables in his Jag and his jag came out way before the PGF50 President.
 
Hes right, RR and Bentley has been using tables as well for decades.

Aren't most of us Americans? Haha.

i meant american car industries.

and they even got the rear vanity mirrors and shit

yea i figured, since design of the table was exact. well that one cooled me off, but the rest still remains.

Listen vezoopnoogens, you can rest easy tonight knowning that orginaility in the automotive industry ended 20 years ago, everything since then has been recycled over and over again. That infiniti is just a recycled lexus which is a recycled mercedes which is a recycled vashtoopenvagen and so on and so on I dunno why but that fold forward seat makes me think of lesbians, I guess its just the most logical use of space for me :shrug:

PS - My roommates  old ass buick had rear lit vanity mirrors in the rear. NOTHING is original. At least nothing nissan makes :-p

1962 and that mutha has tables and shiz in the rear.

eh sounds more rational. i get the concept your explaining.


but the fact that buick combined all of those same itens same in a car just irks me

And you drive an acura tl...you don't drive any car that resembles a pg50...why would this irk you? It's not like you have any motive, other than you 'think' they are copying the president. More like they decided to add fold out tables. BFD. Quit crying and get over it.

Hehe...I love my tables.  BTW...they made inferior copies.  Mine are Walnut burlwood the whole way through..not just plastic with wood laminate.   My model also had the option of heated reclining rear seats (still looking for some to buy for mine...they are nearly impossible to find, but I do have the rear heated seats).  You'll see copying everywhere.  The Japanese have been copying Europe forever..what goes around comes around.  Jaguar has had rear tables since...well, these are from the 50's:

OK, WE all have a passion for JDM stuff....cooh
 
I like JDM stuff just like everyone else but dont get it twisted, we are Americans and it really isnt cool to bash our own country. 
 
 
on a side note...the interior looks good...too bad the exterior looks like ass =)

and yet another rediculous post...

dang, I just had to do a double-take! 
 
That interior is [B]hella tight[/B]!! :biggthumpup:

car companies have been copying and/or tweaking each others ideas for decades, and will continue to do so in perpetuity. There's a lot more in life to be upset about if you ask me.

I guess the clowns on NICO who've been calling the Y33 & F50 a Japanese Buick all this time were right.

Like others have said, rear tray tables have been in luxury cars for 50 years or more.

Yeah, those damn Americans stealing Japanese styling

Oh, wait

ROFL:smiley-rofl:

Imitation is the highest form of flattery.   For those that hven't heard that before, that phrase has been around for centuries.  Also, if you  don't think Nissan doesn't do  it.... Check the kouki grill on a Y33 to a Benz grill

VIP= Japanese cars trying to look Euro.

[QUOTE=widebody_Q;132067]VIP= Japanese cars trying to look Euro.[/QUOTE]

Thank goodness someone sees it.

I love VIP, been into the VIP scene since i was in 8th grade...guess that's been almost 10 years now, I've done my homework in that time span LOL! There's not really anything they do in VIP that's not been around for much longer, most of it done by Van Modders in the 70s. You remember those weird Vans from the late 60s through mid 70s with the chandeliers, Curtains, jewels, plush seats, real wood tables, etc.

They've been stretching tires on Euros since the late 70s early 80s as well. Though it wasn't called stretch back then, It was just sticking the widest wheel you could on your car.

Again, I've been following VIP since the thing to do was to have the HUUUGE front lip that went out like a foot farther than the front of the car. 

Insurance kits were subdued versions LOL!

Actually my JDM F50 grill is so similar to the benz grills that people sometimes mistake my car for a benz...I kinda don't like it.   Makes me look like I'm copying...trying to look like something I don't.   I like it because it got rid of the huge inifiniti emblem and it is clean.

whats with these ridiculous threads vzupnguyen. aint nothing to get so angry bout. you seem like an angry guy. so calm down cuz like others stated nothing and i mean NOTHING is original anymore just a repeat of certain innovations revamped that goes for fashion too.

this dude comes up with the dumbest threads ever.. hes been banned from acurazine.. then tried to come back with like 5 different names.. askin why.. just check all his posts

We are a tough bunch of critics aren't we. Especially the ones that seemingly know everything. How about we try to educate not bash? Tam, I see your point, but history shows alot of reproduction in the automotive mkt. Instead of looking at these things in a negative fashion, try to embrace them. That is after all a HERRA tight interior!
