| Re: A8 what? S class who? 7er? Lol! This is the $h!t: SsangYong Chairman W Announced I've seen this name before, but don't know much about it. Are they using a whole Benz chassis or just the engine/trans? I thought I'd read somewhere before that this car can't be sold in Europe or something like that, only in their home market? M |

| Re: A8 what? S class who? 7er? Lol! This is the $h!t: SsangYong Chairman W Announced It uses a whole Benz platform, a W124 chassis under license from Mercedes to be precise, and Benz motor/gearboxes. It was only allowed on local markets not ot compete with the Mercedes. Seems this has changed. Anyway, the old Chairman looked like a W140 Benz, but a FL gave it an American-looking rear. - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER The FL one: - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER |

| Re: A8 what? S class who? 7er? Lol! This is the $h!t: SsangYong Chairman W Announced ***, and they even gave it a boring color like silver as if they thought of themselves "we're just as cool as the germans, we can get away with this boring color". Unless they go bankrupt I want to see them gain more money so that they can hire proper designers and engineers. But I still don't want to see their cars on the road. |

| Re: A8 what? S class who? 7er? Lol! This is the $h!t: SsangYong Chairman W Announced I'd be real curious to know what they've changed underneath. I'd like to drive one and see if the W124 magic is still there. The W124 chassis with the current old SOHC, 3-valve V8 and the 7G-Tronic, sounds interesting to me. Yeah it looks like re-fried crap, but still. M |
