Do anyone know that BYD's badget actually copies BMW's badge?All the way down to the pattern,font and all —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.156.11.5 ( talk) 14:24, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
I know, but I think the new logo of BYD Auto (not that blue and white oval) isn't copy. -- Love Krittaya ( talk) 09:01, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
Judging from its historical blue and white oval logo, BYD can be considered as the most successful counterfeit brand in the world (Welsh: byd) ever. In other words, I think this is an absolutely very rare case that a counterfeit brand become a global brand. -- Love Krittaya ( talk) 16:18, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

I think the F6e is the plug-in, but the F6DM, is a "dual mode" (not "dual model") hybrid, whatever that means. 209.77.205.9 ( talk) 13:50, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
"DM" or "Dual Mode" is a BYD's word/name for PHEV. -- Love Krittaya ( talk) 05:28, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

I was under the impression that there actually had been lawsuits regarding the copycatting. Perhaps it was another company? AniRaptor2001 ( talk) 05:25, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
If there hasn't been, there is at least enough coverage of the phenomenon in reliable secondary sources to justify its inclusion, even under the heading of "IP theft": Road rage in the West as copycat cars from China start to make their marque overseas, Rolls-Royce considers legal action against £30,000 Chinese copycat Fleetham ( talk) 02:11, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
Content restored by Fleetham ( talk · contribs) has a couple of problems. [1] It asserts that it is "interesting to note" but does not explain why nor does it cite a source that it is interesting. The external link violates our guideline, "Wikipedia articles may include links to web pages outside Wikipedia, but they should not normally be used in the body of an article." ( WP:EL) Instead it should be in a footnote. Walter Siegmund (talk) 01:23, 22 January 2010 (UTC
Why use the word "ape" to mean "ressemble", or "emulate"? Why even, copycat? I say it seems to be a violation of WP:POV. 64.254.236.98 ( talk) 15:40, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
I was the one to use the word. I don't see how it's use can be a violation of WP:POV, as all instances of exterior design "reuse" are cited. I am saying, "I didn't think they copied, someone else thought they copied and I am registering it." My small dictionary says the meaning of the word ape is to "imitate the behavior or manner of, especially in an absurd or unthinkable way." In this instance, BYD Auto has imitated the manner of cars belong to other carmakers, and in a way unthinkable by most Japanese, European, American or Korean carmakers.
Other words that could have been used are:

"BYD Auto has imitated the manner of cars belong to other carmakers, and in a way unthinkable by most Japanese, European, American or Korean carmakers." Well, don't look at the Equinox. Fleetham ( talk) 00:47, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
I don't believe the "look-a-like" content enriches the article or better informs the reader and I have removed the section. Fleetham ( talk) 20:11, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
Someone replaced it, and I don't think it's appropriate because other Chinese car companies do the same, but they don't have a "copying claims" section. I think that maybe it should be removed from all Chinese car-makers, including BYD, or a mention should be made at all the pages that exhibit such external-appearance copying--perhaps in the "History" section, because they've surely stopped such behavior? Fleetham ( talk) 15:53, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
Shouldn't the "copying claims" material be in a general "controversies" section? Fleetham ( talk) 00:33, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
I notice a recurring problem with Fleetham's bundling of references. Currently, the Wall Street Journal article titled "Beijing Halts Construction of BYD Auto Plant" is listed no less than FOUR times. This is why bundling can be problematic, better to list it once and have one or two superscripts appear. "Company Profile" is listed three times, and Gunther (perhaps others as well) are listed twice. I would advice using bundling only when the cite is not used elsewhere in the article to avoid these sorts ouf troubles. ⊂| Mr.choppers |⊃ ( talk) 12:58, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
Yeah, I don't like it either. But here's the dichotomy: it's either multiple superscripts or multiple instances of a source in the references. You can either have text with multiple superscripts, some inside sentences, and have each source listed once, or you can have one superscript at the end and multiple instance of a source in the references.
As WP:Citing sources calls citations inside sentences "visual clutter", says multiple superscripts at the end of a sentence are "confusing", and make no mention of the importance of listing each source only once in the references, wikipedia policy is more in support of having multiple instances of a cited source than the obverse of this problem.
Do you have a solution to this problem?
One way that appears to mitigate the problem is to bundle all the sources used only once and have multiple superscripts at the end of the sentence. In practice, many sources used multiple times in the article will appear inside sentences as well as in support for entire sentences.
So the same dichotomy appears here as well. It would be nice to just have one or two superscripts at the end of a sentence, but with the citation tools currently available on wikipedia, this is not always achievable. I do think wikipedia policy is implicitly in support of multiple instances of cited sources in the references section. Fleetham ( talk) 15:32, 23 March 2011 (UTC)

BYD is currently available in Lebanon: http://bydlebanon.com/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.187.76.173 ( talk) 22:58, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of BYD Auto's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
BYD Auto. Please take a moment to review
my edit. You may add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:

Would it be worth mentioning in the article that BYD sold buses to the City of Albuquerque, but the two parties disputed over perceived issues in reliability, and the City of Albuquerque recently returned all of the buses to BYD? One such link on the issue would be https://www.koat.com/article/electric-art-buses-split-for-california-one-had-to-stop-early/25337413 . 68.66.89.126 ( talk) 19:16, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
And now, BYD is being sued by the City of Albuquerque over perceived issues in reliability. https://www.koat.com/article/albuquerque-files-lawsuit-against-art-bus-vendor/25441691 Perhaps an editor could throw this information into the article on BYD Auto? 68.66.89.126 ( talk) 18:57, 8 December 2018 (UTC)
