But wait..

Considering SSangy and Merc have a deal going as it is (their Chairman CM600 = W124 S-Class), it really makes you wonder who got the better end of the bargain.

A Korean-built Mercedes? OK, but just don't try too hard with that styling, boys.

]]> <![CDATA[Ssangyong Updates Model Range, Now With 10% Less Ugly]]> The Rodius COULD be a good car. It is one of the few vehicles with space for lots of people AND their luggage, plus all wheel drive. But dang there's good quirky, and then there's scratch yours eyes out quirky. Hurry up and get some better designers!

]]> <![CDATA[Ssangyong Updates Model Range, Now With 10% Less Ugly]]> @M0L0TOV:

When does 'quirky' become 'Holy Mary mother of fuck'?

The Multipla was a pure form-following-design, the result of being a genuine 6 seater, with luggage room, in a very short overall length.

In short, it had a point, a purpose.

The Ssangyongs, on the other hand, have no reason to exist.

Perhaps they don't. Perhaps they're just a collective comedown hallucination.

]]> <![CDATA[Ssangyong Updates Model Range, Now With 10% Less Ugly]]> They're still appalling. The Rexton isn't too hellish, but the other two are shockingly bad. I saw my first Kyron in person about three weeks ago and my first reaction was "ugh, what the fuck is that!?"

Euromobile

]]> <![CDATA[Ssangyong Updates Model Range, Now With 10% Less Ugly]]> Wow, I always see a few Ssangyongs when I vacation in St. Maarten, but I've never seen that obvious R-Class copy before (the Rodius.) That's just so weird, maybe I'll make it my avatar.

]]> <![CDATA[Ssangyong Updates Model Range, Now With 10% Less Ugly]]> So ugly a dawg wouldn't chase it.

smokeydog001

]]> <![CDATA[Ssangyong Updates Model Range, Now With 10% Less Ugly]]> The Rexton looks good, but the Rodius looks like Preparation H could help it to "smooth" the rear-end.

]]> <![CDATA[Ssangyong Updates Model Range, Now With 10% Less Ugly]]> 10%? does that mean they started at 110% ugly?

frink84

]]> <![CDATA[Ssangyong Updates Model Range, Now With 10% Less Ugly]]> ... and the new Rodius will win the contest for the ugliest car of the year once again (was it last year or the year before?). Even if they improve it by 50% it may still win!!! This car is a record breaker...

]]> <![CDATA[Ssangyong Updates Model Range, Now With 10% Less Ugly]]> That's less ugly? I'm glad I've never seen the previous version.

It does kinda look like the camper back cladding on the X6 test mules.

]]> <![CDATA[Ssangyong Updates Model Range, Now With 10% Less Ugly]]> man are these guys offshoring their designs from China??
I mean honetly these cars make Dodges and Fords look badass

]]> <![CDATA[Ssangyong Updates Model Range, Now With 10% Less Ugly]]> Well, now its only the Rodius that's actually Aztek-ugly, which is a definite improvement; but the Rodius is SO ugly that it actually seeps through into the models around it; its so bad it probably bleeds into Skoda and Suzuki.

Hookey

]]> <![CDATA[Ssangyong Updates Model Range, Now With 10% Less Ugly]]> 10% less ugly in metric maybe, but what is that in SAE? Yeah, thats what I thought!

JoSCh

]]> <![CDATA[Ssangyong Updates Model Range, Now With 10% Less Ugly]]> Hey, those are not bad looking designs. Not great, but better than Hyundai's first stuff.

]]> <![CDATA[Ssangyong Updates Model Range, Now With 10% Less Ugly]]> Ssangyong...you had me at "Hello".

Then you had to add the German SS...

SeanKHotay

]]> <![CDATA[Ssangyong Updates Model Range, Now With 10% Less Ugly]]> @amblito: I also saw it described as, "So ugly that children walking past it burst into tears."

Amazing that it's designed by the same guy who did the Bentley Continental R.

]]> <![CDATA[Ssangyong Updates Model Range, Now With 10% Less Ugly]]> I'd drive a million miles
To be with you tonight
So if you're feeling low
Turn up your radio
The words we use are strong
They make reality
But now the music's on
Oh baby drive with me

Start it up - shifter down
Hit the gas - move it down to the ground
Turn it off - cool down
Korea time - don't hang out at the borderline

Everybody have fun tonight
Everybody have fun tonight
Everybody Ssangyong tonight
Everybody smoke bong tonight
Everybody Ssangyong tonight

]]> <![CDATA[Ssangyong Updates Model Range, Now With 10% Less Ugly]]> I saw a Rodius the other day and laughed out loud.

If I had one in front of me I'd overtake it at the first available opportunity so I didn't have to look at it's ugly arse-end.

]]> <![CDATA[Ssangyong Updates Model Range, Now With 10% Less Ugly]]> 10% less is being too kind, star with 2% and see if they fix it.

POLAЯMISSESEVEЯYBODY

]]> <![CDATA[Ssangyong Updates Model Range, Now With 10% Less Ugly]]> Wow, they've really toned it down. The first time I saw a Musso in person I was pretty sure it was a Montero customized by a mentally ill person. These actually look like they made them on purpose.

]]> <![CDATA[Ssangyong Updates Model Range, Now With 10% Less Ugly]]> They need to hire american (or westernized) marketing people. Rodius? Put a 1/8" Rodius on this here corner.

philibuster

]]> <![CDATA[Ssangyong Updates Model Range, Now With 10% Less Ugly]]> Don't they have truth in advertising laws there in Great Britain? No where in that press release does it say anything about them being "road-turds" or designed by "the less-cool group of third graders at Bleeker Primary School."

graverobber- My Yugo Nova!

]]> <![CDATA[Ssangyong Updates Model Range, Now With 10% Less Ugly]]> more like: now with more Mercedes/Kia/Hyundai styling!
