More Korean Luxury in a half Mercedes
http://english.chosun.com/w21data/html/news/200802/200802280019.html
This is the latest version of "The Chairman" by SsangYong. In case anyone is wondering why, Korea heavily taxes imported automobiles, usually to the tune of 80-100% of the cost of the car, so Mercedes selling engines and transmissions to Ssangyong is probably the easiest way of selling at least parts of their cars in Korea. The previous version also based on the w124 platform.
