How to do you say FUGLY in Korean? SSANGYONG MOTORS! 
The designers are either myopic, on drugs or lacking any design talent....

The 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.
There is a new 'new and improved' Chairman called the Chairman W. It has an engine and 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 (Yes you hear right! This new version costs US$100,000) 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!
The other models in Sssanyong's fabulous line up have old Mercedes Benz diesel engines and transmissions.
For those of you that are uneducated about Korean cars other than Hyundai or Kia, Ssangyong is 51% owned by China?s Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation. And we all know that SAIC is known for their automotive technological and design capabilities!
