Fixed!

But, no they can't sue. As long as the Chinese Manufacturers change it at least 30%, it's considered an original design.

Sucks, but that's what drives most industries forward.

enjoy.
There's definetely the basic 1st gen xB body shape hiding in there. You can see it in the upper rear, the gas door, the B-pillar, etc.

I kinda dig the door handles and the plastic lower-body cladding.

If it was possible they would have been sued many years ago... you do realize the XB is an Astro van copy
I build custom homes...If I change make minor changes it is now a unique plan and there are no copyright infringements

it's hard to be original anymore. what hasn't been done in some form or another. we used to say, if you thought of it, it's already been done.
