The Chinese are well known for their efforts in adopting style and design across all products from other parts of the world, and hear we see a Chinese car copy of the Fiat Panda. Apparently the model pleases the local market, with Italy’s Repubblica newspaper reporting that the “Peri” will be produced and distributed in China after a High Court decision in Hebei rejected attempts to block the copy.

While perhaps questionable, the Fiat Panda Chinese copy will be restricted to that local market, with European exports prohibited and fines in place for any models that reach Western shores. With no further appeal possible, the Chinese “Peri” will be produced across the Asian territories.

As noted by the Repubblica, if the Fiat Panda copy is allowed, the Chinese could create a carbon copy of the entire list, composed of clones. After the jump is a digital comparison of the vehicles; the Chinese Panda’s future on the Asian market will be interesting to follow.
