This is what happens when car manufacturers gouge consumers in the home market to subsidize car prices in other countries!

And you though you were paying too much for your BMW???

Would you pay US$100,000 for this???

A Korean car company owned by China?s Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation thinks Koreans will (and idiotic Koreans have!).

Seen the car, ridden in the car... A hundred grand though??? Maybe at gunpoint or if I were a moron!

 

Chairman? Wasn't that put out by Ssangyong years ago? I remember a friend of mine bought one here saying it was just as good as a MB but a bit cheaper -- I asked him how much cheaper and he said 8%... LOL

 

This is the new and improved Chairman W!

The older Chairman is based upon the really old Merceceds Benz W124 E-Class. That was a good car in 1985 when it came out. The key phrase being "in 1985"... it is now 2008. The car design is now nearly 25 years old.

The new Chairman W has a transmission from a W140 S-Class... a car that is now nearly 20 years old! New and improved? Perhaps old and decrepit is a better description! This US$100K Korean-Chinese luxo-barge has decadent appointments such as wood grain plastic interior trim! Wow!

I thought my company provided Genesis was bad!

Spend a US$100K on this car? Anyone who does needs his head examined!

 

How do you say FUGLY in Korean? SSANGYONG!

BTW, came across an offer for BBS AIR II CY's -- 2300 for a pair. This friend of mine has em at the shop and wants to get rid of them.... Otokae sanggak hae?

 

About half the price... Hmmm... Not bad. What condition are they in?

 

He says top condition and can guarantee them.


Are these for the E60? They look BMW:

 

I haven't seen those wheels on an E60 before. I did some searching on the web to see if BMW made/sold wheels like that and I found nothing.

You can try checking:

This site has all the BMW OEM wheels.

As for the BBS AIR (NOT!) ll CYs...

If you like them, get them. Don't worry about the weight. I think wheel strength is more important in real world driving.
