The presenters of Top Gear pulled no punches as they ridiculed Chinese cars on a visit to the country just over a decade ago.
“It is the most tragic looking thing,” Jeremy Clarkson boomed, looking down at one manufacturer’s effort to imitate the iconic Mini Cooper.
“Like someone has described a Mini to someone on the telephone, or sent a really blurry fax.”
“It’s awful,” agreed James May. “It is very cheap though.”
