Mini clone from China....You gotta see this!!
Probably just a phase in their development. I recall when "Made in Japan" meant cheap and shoddy.
The Japanese started out copying cars from the West. I recall a story about a Japanese car company making a clone of a British car. I think it might have been a pre-war Austin. The story was that they took a used Austin apart and duplicated it exactly. Unfortunately, the engine had been repaired with a plug. The Japanese didn't understand what the plug was for, but they put it in every one of their clones.

I guessing the Litwan company has a blind automotive design engineer and they gave him a Clubman to play with. He walked around it, touched every inch of the exterior, and said, "Hey, I could make one of these!"
Looking at the photos of this abomination's interior, they clearly didn't let the blind engineer open the doors.
Yet another sign of the impending apocalypse ...
