China's BYD Electric Car 'Game Changer'

Just forget about the Lexus or the GM hybrids. These Chinese hybrid cars have a shorter recharge time, longer range and more recharge cycles for the battery. Basically, the Japanese and the Americans have to buy from BYD, or just go back to redesign their products.

Comeon, they didn't even have this car battery ready a few years ago. So why would a battery company sell a gasoline car?
It was another company that was selling a rebadged Corolla.

If they were stealing the design, then why didn't Toyota sue them? Also, they started to sell the electric F3 just last year, not a few years ago. A few years ago they were still just a battery maker.
Also, they are now displaying the F3 in Detroit. Why is Toyota/Honda not suing them?
Anyway, it is their battery technology that is leading the world, not car making.

Comeon, you love China so much that your money-making business empire is located there. If you hate Hong Kong/China so much, then just close all your businesses there.

there is no partnership between BYD cars and Toyota, they simply used a corolla to make the mold for their car.  Hence stealing their design and its not even a "display" for using the fake corolla, the F3 has been for sale for years ripping off the corolla design.  Forgot to tell you, the F3 is a corolla front and Fit Sedan in the back with a corolla interior.  

The only company in china that sell legit rebadge toyota is Red Flag.

they were a cell phone company 5 years ago ... so i don't see how they could come up with a new design without copying.

not that it's right, however.

They don't need to copy, since they are the leaders in battery technology, better than Nokia or Sony.
The fear here is that what if BYD really came up with something superior, and then the Japanese come and steal it and claim they invented it.
People would not believe that the Japanese need to steal.

They never said they designed the car? I think they just use the Corolla to show case their battery technology. They however, of course can't advertise for Toyota so they must replace the Toyota bad ...

The main point is the battery, since they are a battery manufacturer. I suspect they cooperated with another Chinese car maker that happens to be the partner of Toyota in China. So they are just using the Corolla to showcase their battery technology.
