    That's a very interesting article. I'm not sure I think it's a believable article, but an interesting read, none the less...

    The way I read that, it seemed the author was talking about the license plate on that particular VX as being what was fake, not the VX itself.

    Maybe try reading the OP's title again?

    "Knock-off" implies fake.

    A VX is a VX regardless of where it's made.

    A vx is a VX no matter where it is made as long as it was made using OEM parts and under license. If Isuzu hired them these are VX's. However, the chinese have stolen alot of vehicle manufacturers design and concepts and put together look alikes with crappy parts and accesories.

    I want a knock off VX...save 25000 dollars, airmail from HK! That would be awesome, authentic or not, it would be a great DD.

    Would the country of origin tag on the door jamb reflect Japan if the vehicle was assembled in China?

    Ummmmmmmm...NO...YOU said "licence plate"...(this is what YOU said) : >>> " it seemed the author was talking about the license plate on that particular VX as being what was fake, not the VX itself."

    Are you that daft?...Have you no ability to comprehend what's been printed, or even what YOU have written?

    Tell ya what, I've got a really good camera, and I don't mind traveling for a good cause.
    I'll come take your pic for free, as I can think of many good causes that you could be a poster child for.
    RIF comes most readily to mind, and I've got a couple others rolling around in my head, that I'm willing to start foundations for from the ground up...

    I'm serious, I really want to help...

    Dude, I mean DUB; tread lightly son, lightly...remember the last time!!! Gotta admit though, a knock-off VX is kinda flattering...

    Honestly, had to look up RIF... Reading Is Fundamental, good one!
