Styling controversies
Originally called the Sinogold G60, the Sinogold GM3 is a controversial vehicle from the styling aspect, as most of the exterior design is an obvious copy of the Citroën Grand C4 Picasso despite the redesigned front and rear down road graphics. As of May 2017, Sinogold was caught using a photoshopped image of the Citroën Grand C4 Picasso for the picture of the Sinogold GM3.[4]
