Looks like an mercedes-benz with maybach radiator grille. chairman "dobbelyou" is an korean copycar. asian shit from chinese and korean copy-carmakers.
@TheElberfelder Dude, not even. Maybach's Grille's are Vertical, not horizontal like this car. The car is less "curvey" than a S-Class, but more curvey than a new C-Class and a E-class. The only component this car uses is the 7-speed transmission and the engines from Mercedes-Benz. Everything else is Ssangyong.
Not true. As of December 2008, SAIC Motor (Chinese company) owned 51% of Ssangyong and the Korea Development Bank owned 49%. However, in late-2008, Ssangyong filed for bankruptcy and, if things continue the way they are, it will be forced into liquidation by Sept 2009.
Ssangyong builds the Chairman on an old Mercedes E-Class platform used under license from Daimler AG. Daimler has no ownership in Ssangyong whatsoever.
i know i worked on this project, chairman is built on a mercedes platform and is co built with mercedes benz .,they started the development back in the 90's with ssangyong &daewoo motor. the powertrain /engine is mercedes some parts & electronics are built with daewoo,& GM DELPHI korea parts and the car is body is built by ssangyong.this all happened before mercedes merged with chrysler! :( mercedes was much better when it was not with chrysler !!!they damaged mercedes image and quality??????
haha i agree.. it has a very light steering wheel...but it has an economical fuel consumption. If the oil price is getting lower and lower,i'd rather drive a jeep.maybe.LOL
it has mercedes engine... :P

NOT AT ALL. I'd have to disagree with this shitty can being the most luxurious korean car. Equus is by far much better than this rattling crap.

Koreans cannot make a luxury car, so they multilate a Mercedes instead. Why would Mercedes agree to this? Have they no respect for their own cars?

Ok so it has a Mercedes look to it but is that a bad thing? I certainly think not.
It's a dam good looking car and I'm sure it will be extremely comfortable and reliable. I wish they would bring it to the UK.
