Paging SmallBear, your new front clip awaits within. Also goddamn, how much licensing does GM do in China?

and just to get the whole picture (even though I’m probably missing some)

I like the Land Rover pickup... I mean, HIGER.... er. (HIG(H)er?)

BmanUltima's car still hasn't been fixed yet, he'll get on it tomorrow, honest. > Milky

Isn’t the 5th one down an Amarok?

theres a very thin line between licensed and ... (horrible) copies in that side of the pond ....

The Chevy, GMC and Izuzu (2nd, 3rd and 4th from bottom) are genuine. The rest are poor knockoffs.

Also, FUCKING NO. My new front clip can burn.

I read that as higher too. Higer sounds like a knock off Tiger. Well maybe ... it is a knock off truck.

all I can say is the 2nd one should be burned in a lava pit

I actually think they might be licensed. I spent a couple of minutes on wiki, kind of an expert now.

But It’d be dope to see a little Escalade truck or the Higer in Canada.

Looks boring

Thin, chrome horizontal bars in the grill

Checks out.

And I have no idea where any of those trucks sit in relation to that line.

I for one, love the idea of seeing front clipped swapped version of that just driving around. With some confused Colorado enthusiast / super hipster behind the wheel.

The Holden might be OK as well. But there’s little givaways all the way down (ignoring clips. Those can be changed easy).

Fairly certain the ones with round wheel arches are frauds.

All the squinty ones are frauds, I recognize them.

The Holden actually looks genuine on second glance.

I suppose Izuzu could have done a version with round arches, but based on GM’s usual rebadge technique, the fact that there’s already an Izuzu that matches the Colorado/Canyon, the fact that even the Holden keeps the bodywork and overall headlight shape, and the fact that some of the ones badged as Chevy’s are acknowledged fakes leads me to believe that there are only 4 genuine vehicles in that collection.

Don’t worry, that is just the start of the Great Wall Wingle series:

Kinja'd!!!

And that front clip is a rip off of the VW Mallegan concept:

Kinja'd!!!

You got it all wrong, Isuzu did make a rebadged Colorado, but they also make the D-Max which is slightly smaller than the Colorado and has a diesel engine. Similar to what happens with the new D-Max and Colorado, same platform but one is smaller and has diesel engines and most parts are not shared between them.

The D-Max was also sold as a Chevrolet and Holden, just like the Colorado.

No, I don't have it "all" wrong, though that explains a few more pictures.

I still see 9 wannabe's.

Sorry about the “all wrong” I was going to put partially wrong but I forgot. Only the first 7 are ripoffs (not even licensed), the rest are real GM products. If you want I can list them as the only thing that changes between brands is the grille.

D-Max (Isuzu, Chevrolet, Holden Rodeo)
