Beijing Auto is on the cloning-path again. Earlier on they did the Mercedes-Benz B-class for the BC301, and now they got their hands on the iconic G-class for the new Beijing Auto B80V which will likely debut as a concept on the April 2012 Beijing Auto Show. One black example was seen transported not far from the factory in Beijing. It has all the badges ans loox ready for production.

Just like a G-class indeed, only the front is different, in line with the Beijing Auto B40 that is by la way still not on the market. Wonder what Mercedes-Benz thinks of this?
