Re: What could this be?
It sure looks close, the SsangYong Chairman is based on old E-Class technical base, build under license from Mercedes by SsangYong.

The actual Chairman is based on the W210 technic, if I remember well. Or maybe the W140 S-Class I have a doubt...

Contrary to the Chinese, SsangYong has the authorization to do that, and paid the license to build it. Even the grill has been agreed by Mercedes-Benz (what I really can't understand).

The SsangYong Rodius in Europe is based on the W140... A lot of SsangYongs use Mercedes' motor and automatic gearbox, mainly the old 2.7L 5 cylinder diesel and the 3.2L petrol V6.
