It'sdefinitely not bad-looking. Pretty good design. Of course, lots of Benz inspiration, especially the front and in particular the grille or headlights...the windscreen/roof relationship too...

But not bad.

The V8 is "produced" in South-Corea, so it still is a MB V8 produced there, or is it a Corean V8?

Anyway, waiting for the equipemts, interior, build quality, finition, and how it drives.

It could have been somethimg pretty cool if it wasn't priced so high...
Seriously, do you think we have here the next Lexus? Given the look it is possible, of course we need more.

Could have some success in Asia if it's not too bad.

Clearly this segment has a new leader. Anyone can clearly see this car is superior to the S-Class, A8, 7-Series and Lexus LS in every way.

Easily. I applaud Ssangyong for creating their first truly beautiful car and an immediate class leader at that too. Incredible how they can just come into the game late and immediately outclass everything the competition throws at it. Simply incredible. The Germans have been in this game for over 100 years and the little unknown Ssangyong company just bankrupts them overnight! Incredible!

Anyone else feel this car should get the Best Saloon Car of the 21st Century award? I do.

I swear, put an S-Class next to this thing and it's apparent how poorly designed and engineered the S-Class is. Even the Lexus LS cannot touch this masterpiece of Korean engineering. Bottom line: Ssangyong Chairman > Lexus LS / MB S-Class etc.

AMAZING!

Hell no! True, it outclasses the S-Class, A8 and every other car in this class but it cannot touch, I repeat, CANNOT TOUCH the Ssangyong Chairman.

Well clearly SsangYong don't have an image problem on this website!

I expect to see one of these in all of your driveways by the years end
