Default I think the company is called China-Automobile...

the grille badge is a big S and the model badge says "CEO." There is also another model called the "UFO" and it is basically a rip off two-door Toyota Rav4<ul><li><a href="http://www.china-automobile.de/">http://www.china-automobile.de/</a</li></ul>
