Still trying to do a cheap take on '90's Mercedes Benz styling I see.How can one dealer end up with a "few" of these things all in the same colour and with similar kms!Must have been a fleet purchase that 12 months down the track they decided these things were crap lol.If you think thats terrible have a look at an Actyon.

Ssangyong got something right in the looks department with the Rexton.
But everything else is hideous.

Thats the line they have been using to suck people in for years, they are only MB designed, not manufactured.They're made cheap in the good ol' K-O-R-E-A under licence and have been since the day those first hideous Musso things started offending the eyeballs.

They have mercedes emblems on the engine mercedes covers ect I would say the engines are made by mercedes the engine bay is actually impressive for a korean vehicle

The engine is a generation or two behind. Not really a selling point anymore.

True but their target market isn't going to care about that.

Ford Traders have Mazda written on the engine. The SY engines are an old MB design but they are deff not made by MB. Under liscence is the term I think.

Nope, I would drive a Ssangyong Stavic over a Multipla, but in saying that the Stavic sure is heinous looking.

at least driving it you don't have to look at the outside design, and wearing a hoody and shades nobody would recognize you, it would definitely be more reliable than any fiat.

IIRC Ssangyong use a similar or even the same part number system as what Benz do, hence the numbers on many of the engine parts probably look like genuine Benz items but they aren't.

D'oh yea. it's so bad I couldn't even get the model right. Looks like a backyard patch together job from about 6 different models & cleverly paneled & painted to look like 1 body
