[Now GM is desperate<g>]--"General Motors warns may file suit against China car importer - report" 05.05.2005, 11:10 PM HONG KONG (AFX) - General Motors Corp has threatened the US-importer of Chinese-made Chery cars with legal action if it proceeds with plans to use the brand name in America, the Financial Times reported. In its online edition the newspaper said that lawyers for GM wrote last month to Malcolm Bricklin, whose Visionary Vehicles plans to sell Chery cars in 2007, to warn that the brand is too similar to Chevy, the nickname for its Chevrolet brand. Bricklin told the Financial Times he would use the Chery name anyway. In its letter, GM said: 'We will oppose Chery's application to register the Chery name, as well as seek to prevent their importation, sale or use of the Chery name on or in connection with vehicles, their parts and accessories, or on . . .automotive dealerships.' GM is already engaged in legal action against Chery in China over the QQ, a hatchback that GM claims is a copy of the Daewoo Matiz, sold in China under the Chevrolet badge, the Financial Times said. forbes.com
