I was tooling around the interwebs, looking for trouble, when I came upon a clever ruse:
http://www.wikipediatrade.com/saleen-s7/
What caught my eye was the suspicious statement
!!! UNKNOWN HEADER TYPE (MULTI-LINE BREAK?) !!!
mhm.
So, this is where I need to get back to work, but what do you guys think?

Maybe let Wikipedia know about this. They should have a lawyer or two that can handle this.

Definitely sounds like them.

They’ve had it under several different names. I think it was Las Vegas Replicas after Super Replicas.

I clicked the link and it gave me a phone number. I looked up the phone number and it lead me to this: http://www.mansorycars.com/
“We were founded in 1973, and now our car manufacturing company is now one of the world´s most trusted custom car builders in the world and, with its range of custom built Rival copies of Rolls-Royce brands, Bentley´s, Ferrari´s and Lamborghini´s possesses many of the strongest premium brands in the car industry.”
Sounds like BS, with a helping of bad grammar.

That is amazing. As if Mansory were known for low prices.

I wonder if they have domain over anything with “wiki” in it. I doubt they do. But, maybe.

Well, now it’s all official sounding. It’s a wiki, after all.

Eat that, other supercar companies.

I clicked the link and it asked me if I wanted to translate the page to English. They weren’t kidding when they said bad grammar.

Well the site is called Wikipediatrade.com, and they (Wikipedia) very likely have trademark/copyright on the name.

You see Ivan, when taking ten engines of Viper, you are go faster because of more boom.

I spoke too soon. That is true.

Read the link to the “S7 Rival” you posted. Did they just copy and paste a review of the actual S7? I’m actually impressed by how lazy and sloppy they are.

Why would anyone want a replica Hyundai Sonata Hybrid?

Sorry I keep commenting on your post but this site is so stupidly stupid that its stupid.

They have a section called testimonies.
http://www.wikipediatrade.com/mansory-cars-t…
They mention someone named CEC, no doubt another fraud company. They also used footage from the behind the scenes of the NFS movie claiming it to be how they make cars. This is all obviously fake to the unsuspecting person it may seem legit.
I also noticed that all of the articles are written by someone named Steven Dauner, probably a fake name. A google search of it turned up nothing.

Because you could trick people into thinking you have a REAL Hyundai!!!

At least they didn’t call it “testiculars “, though they seem to have those in spades.
![]() 07/13/2015 at 23:18 |

They did... Quite believable.

They even still use images of Tanner Foust...

Alright, that confirms it. Wow, these guys.

I’d call them just to fuck with them.
I’ll tell them what I want and then pitch them an investment opportunity to help me obtain my inheritance from my deceased Nigerian King father.
They can use the proceeds from their business to help me unlock my $200 million inheritance. Or they can give me a Bentley Blower replica with an Agera engine, PDK and Ferrari exhaust as payment.
I will bestow them with more business once I have my inheritance!
