 | Re: A8 what? S class who? 7er? Lol! This is the $h!t: SsangYong Chairman W Announced In Australia we have a name for cars like this... the poor mans bimmer or the poor mans merc... The honda accord is often called the poor mans bimmer... But this just takes the "poor" moniker to the next level... I mean atleast it should be safer then the cars coming out of china because to a degree has some mercedes engineering in it... Maybe thats neough for some people to buy the car.. the fact that underneath its an old mercedes benz... |

| Re: A8 what? S class who? 7er? Lol! This is the $h!t: SsangYong Chairman W Announced The Rodius is really awful. And based on the W140 platform!! But I am happy to present the only current car that can make a Rodius look not so bad: its little brop the Actyon. Is it the car that BMW used as an inspiration for the X6? In that case, they really were much more inspired, because this looks disgusting and the X6 looks fabulous. First time I saw an Actyon, I needed 30 minutes rest and a big mouth wash...  I still have some nightmares.- 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 - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER SSangyong is very proud to have the worst-looking line-up ever seen...  |

| Re: A8 what? S class who? 7er? Lol! This is the $h!t: SsangYong Chairman W Announced Yep, the Actyon...terrible. Terrible. What are their designers smoking? I'd really like to know.  When I lived in the Philippines I once had the chance to testdrive a Ssangyong Musso. The performance wasn't bad (2.9-l 5-cylinder Mercedes turbodiesel engine) and it drove nicely but man, that car was ugly. Ssangyong Musso. Ewwwww....  |

| Re: A8 what? S class who? 7er? Lol! This is the $h!t: SsangYong Chairman W Announced "We’ve thoroughly analyzed the Lexus LS430, Audi’s A8, BMW’s 750 and other potential competitors for the launch of this model. Our aim is to compete with those world-class models, not with large local models." They analyzed those three and created a previous generation E-class. Great stuff. |
