Ssangyong is making a serious attempt to capture the Asian luxury market with its Ssangyong Chairman W, a V8-powered, RWD sedan with all the trimmings. We just came across a batch of new exterior and interior shots and, while the exterior doesn't surprise, the interior features seem quite advanced for the market. First of all, you've got the MyGigesque rear screen that pops out of the front center console, which appears to be able to control both front and rear entertainment systems. Taking this even further, whereas MyGig only functions with a remote for passengers, the rear console features an integrated command knob. Take that Hyundai Genesis.(UPDATE: The previous Chairman was based on the W124 E-Class platform and an interior picture from the E-Class made it into the interior gallery, causing some confusion. The pic has been removed. Thanks to all of those that pointed it out). More »

The crew over at Ssangyong, everyone's favorite Chinese-owned Korean automaker, has revived their luxury Chairman nameplate for the new Chairman W. As you'll remember, the original chairman was based on the W124 E-Class Mercedes platform but styled to look like an S-Class. Based off of the WZ concept shown at Frankfurt, this new model will reportedly be offered with a choice of a 3.6-liter V6 and 5.0-liter V8 (which should come with a seven-speed automatic from MB). A V8-powered Korean luxury sedan? Haven't we seen that before? More »
