The new Ssangyong Chairman
Pictures have floated out onto the Korean internet of the latest Ssangyong Chairman luxury sedan, we say sedan, its more of a mini limo.
You may be wondering why Ssangyong is on China Car Times! Ssangyong is half owned by our very own fair SAIC (51% owned, to be exact), thus making it a half Chinese car. The exterior design of the latest Chairman is nothing special, its big, its imposing, its what every company Chairman would want to take him from business meeting to business meeting. Its whats on the inside of the car that most interests China Car Times.
The Chairmans of old were built off Mercedes Benz 1980′s E-Class platforms, we’re unsure if the latest above Chairman platform is Merc based or not, but if it the platform aint broken, why fix it?
The Interior:
The dashboard is definitely of Roewe 550 styling – Did SAIC take some style cues from their Korean brothers for the Roewe 550 dash? Check out the pictures in this article – there is some resemblance!
Thanks to M0l0tov for sending us the useful news tip!

To “I hate China”: Why would you come to a forum on Chinese cars and call yourself “I hate China”. You are truly pathetic, ignorant and even a racist.
If you are really Korean I have an interesting fact to tell you about the Chinese and Korean communities here in New York City.
There is a neighborhood with a large Chinese and Korean population in New York City called Flushing. As the Chinese stores in this neighborhood increased their business and made substantially more profits they began to sell Korean products to Korean customers in Flushing, eventually under selling the Korean stores. Some local Korean newspapers began to publish un-flattering remarks against the much more prosperous Chinese stores and encouraged all Koreans to boycott all Chinese stores.
Well as you guessed eventually the Korean stores had to move out of Flushing.
The moral of the story is a retard Korean who calls himself “I hate China” will eventually cost your beloved Hyundai, and Kia a lot of lost business in China because the Chinese consumers will see what a racist bunch of bigots you are.

Actually Korean population has been moving away from Flushing, Queens and into New Jersey and Long Island suburb instead. As the new population migrates into a given area, the older population simply move out.

Because of population migration. Same story with Italians, there are hardly any Italians left in Little Italy as Chinese took over the area. This is common phenomenon observed all around New York.

This place is not being read by Chinese mainlanders. Even the site maintainer blogging from China has to go through proxy servers to get here.
What is all the crap about? -how far away have we got from a car forum – we could all start hate and racist bigoted comments but thankfully real people dont- lets stick to auto talk and cut the crap now!!!
