320: $6,000-$8,000*
Mini Cooper: $18,000**
Lifan, one of China's smaller automakers, began showing off a Mini Cooper clone this year. Some key differences: the 320 has four normal-sized doors, a reconfigured grill, and 87 horsepower, while the Mini has two doors and 118 hp. No word yet on whether BMW will sue, but Lifan claims its yet-to-be-exported version is an original.
