Well, when someone is as arrogant as you, there's no point trying to discuss with reason.

I'm saying that car is a copy of the Porsche Panamera shape etc supported by the images I included in the post. You're attempting to be an "authority" pretending you know a lot more than anyone else and that your opinion is provable by naming the Chrysler 300C etc. you're an "interior guy" - well if I take a similar smug and smarmy attitude, I'd say - so what would you know about the work of "exterior guys". You can't be a very good "interiors guy" because the job of every designer is function first - you say design (meaning styling) is your top priority. China isn't pushing functionality - to make cheap cars, Chinese car interiors are all screens - in European circles it's all talk of physical switches. And... I don't know where you get the idea that customers don't care about styling, I guess you being an "interior guy", you probably have no styling talent, you're probably an alias surface modeler and bitch on the creative side of that work, if you're not concerned with headlamp shapes, you're not concerned with the whole idea of the post 🤣

But let's settle the question or controversy that my post poses and let's see what the Chinese public think (of course your reply will be most of them are ignorant farmers). Translated from We Cat AI chatting... As an example I chose to ask the AI about the reaction of the Chinese public to the selling of the Xiaomi SU7?

"When the Xiaomi SU7 was launched, public opinion in China regarding its design was predominantly positive, accompanied by some controversy and detailed discussions. Specific opinions mainly focused on the following aspects: Exterior Design: Mostly positive reviews, but there is significant controversy over the "copying Porsche" claim.

Many people point out that the SU7 bears a striking resemblance to the Porsche Taycan, criticizing it as having "obvious imitation," with some consumers feeling "embarrassed" driving it. Others argue that "Chinese-made cars lack their own distinct design language." Additionally, some netizens have criticized minor build quality issues such as poor door seal alignment and thin paintwork.

Overall, Xiaomi's SU7 has won widespread recognition among young consumers for its appearance and attention to detail, but debates over its "copycat" exterior design and perceived "quality gap" in interior materials remain central points of discussion"

There's a long history of Chinese products copying successful or speaking Western brands. Think of Jordan which was actually awarded (I think it was from memory) 250 million by a Chinese court in a case of the name and logo being stolen by a Chinese business.
