Haven't those cheeky Chinese chaps got a sense of humour?!
Although it does at least make the D5 look good, something Gerry McGovern struggled with 2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
2015 - 2017: 2 x D4
2017 to date: FFRR SDV8
2023 to date: 2 x FL2 as “second” cars 🙄
2021 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200
2022 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200 & sidecar!
(One of only two known to exist in the world!)

At least the number plate is in the middle. Fiendishly clever, those Chinese designers.

Was the person making the comparison visually impaired?
Nothing like the D5, only the C pillar is close to the D5

I notice they all seem to have UK style number plates, is there a UK importer ?

J77 , at least the running gear of that landwind labrador is very impressive
quote
Under the skin, the Landwind has opted for a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine, sourced from Japanese manufacturer, Suzuki. It is the same 66kW powerplant as found in the 2017 Suzuki Ignis.
