not sure if it's because of the angle or not but that's pretty ugly imo
Looks like a design from like a decade ago something Kim Jong il would ride

Interior isn't too bad though

got a chance to be in one while in seoul. Interior is nice and roomy. But the wooden dash makes it look outdated. I am sure is car that will feel really "old" after 3-4 years of ownership. (similar to being in an old Lexus sedan with cracked leather)

yup. they've been partners for a long time.
the ssangyong korando has the benz diesel.

wouldn't be suprised if the chairman had the same/similar chassis and engine to the S class

as far as korean long-body luxury, i'd choose the Equus Limo. looks pretty damn good.

pretty common in seoul for ceos

Hmm a quick Wikipedia search shows that the current gen was a production car since 2008 so it's a 4 year old car. If you say it will get old in 3 years its really not bad Imo. But if you look at it without a biased view it really isn't too bad

for those asian who are in their 50s making 7 digits executives and this is their daily driver, I believe this is what they want. It's one reason why buick still exists

That doesn't look bad, compared to the Kia's out on the road a couple years ago.

I would much prefer the base optima nowadays than say a corolla or civic.
