Tough choice, I think i’ll take the one on the left… legs that lead to heaven?

I’ll take the one on the right then. Kimmie-chan.

Not as ugly as I would have expected. Although the more boxy version of the Lexus LS rear end just looks horrific.

Even the Equiess is better than this.

Equiees is a grear car.
chnny

All we can say is that it is better than the last one!

heath

Sometimes we pray for cars to come to Australia……….This one can stay where it is!!!

Weird, there’s actually two Chairman models on sale, the older Chairman H (which this is the updated version of) and the newer Chairman W, which looks much better, and comes with a 7-speed auto and optional 5.0l V8. I know which one I’d choose.
Rumps
It’s gonna be a bummer for Ssangyong when people walk into their showrooms asking for the left one.
I doubt they have perfected cloning, if they can’t make a car right…it’d come out all mangled and with 3 arms.

This will replace 1st generation of chairman
2st generation with v8 7spd awd is upper model of previous chairman
This 3rd generation chairman will replace 1st generation
1st and 3rd generation = Commodore
2nd generation chairman W = Statesman

ok so
FRONT HEADLIGHTS: looks similar to the Merc C class
READ HEADLIGHTS: looks similar to LEXUS LS
JD

FRONT HEADLIGHTS also looks like the previous gen Merc S class
AustralAsian
First impression are
Mercedeish at the front,
Lexus lx at the back and plain o’l melting pot of imitation interior.
I’m only a consumer at the end of the day and I don’t know how to build a car so you got to start from somewhere just like the japanese and the others. You copy until you come up with your own ideas.
Sneek
the Japanese never copied, Lexus LS400 (1989) was a better car then the S-class.. ($1 billion dollars spend 6 years in development) result = superior car.. Honestly read a book..
Critique
Yes, its a Merlexus !!! with Lada interior !!!.
Take a look at the Russian President’s limo’s from the 1940′s to current – not much difference.
DGS
Not Quite a “ZIL” (russian made limo). There is no obvious place to stow an AK47 in the door, and there seems to be no Vodka minibar for the driver!
bigtrain
It just a update/facelift and as for this mercedes looks well ssangyong are in partnership with mercedes what do you expect?

I am from Sydney Australia I bought a C600 with Motor Registered to Mercedes Benz with No. It rides beatifully. Quiet, fully loaded with electricals, reclining back seats. As soon as your personal keyn is activated the mechanism adjusts seats, mirrors, steering wheel automatically to your chosen options. Never had a days trouble, with the exception of a fuse, replaced it myself. I can fault this car for comfort, not heavy on fuel (not light either)lots of room. Absolute quality for money. I think Mercedes Benz redesigned the old 600 which was discontunued in the 80s. She may not be a “stunner” but beauty is skin deep. She is reliable and a keeper, I speak from first hand experience.

Slip inside the eye of your mind Don’t you know you might find A better place to play You said that you’d never been But all the things that you’ve seen Will slowly fade awaySo I start a revolution from my bed ’Cause you said the brains I had went to my head Step outside, summertime’s in bloom Stand up beside the fireplace Take that look from off your face ’cause You ain’t ever gonna burn my heart out And so Sally can wait, she knows it’s too late as we’re walking on by Her soul slides away, but don’t look back in anger I heard you say Take me to the place where you go Where nobody knows, if it’s night or day.Please don’t put your life in the hands Of a Rock ‘n Roll band and throw it all away Gonna start the revolution from my bed ’Cause you said the brains I had went to my head Step outside the summertime’s in bloom Stand up beside the fireplace Take that look from off your face You ain’t ever gonna burn my heart out And So Sally can wait, she knows it’s too late as we’re walking on by. her soul slides away, but don’t look back in anger I heard you say And So Sally can wait, she knows it’s too late as we’re walking on byHer soul slides away, but don’t look back in anger I heard you saySo Sally can wait, she knows it’s too late and we’re walking on byHer soul slides away, but don’t look back in anger, don’t look back in anger I heard you sayIt’s not today.

What a lot of wanker comments !! Ive owned a chairman from new for 7 years now and I also own 2 benzes, an E class and an S, The Chairman has without a doubt been the most reliable car I have ever owned in 52 years of owning cars. Bring the new model to Australia and I will be the first to upgrade to a new one !! After 7 years people still pull up beside me at the lights and ask me all about it !!. If I can not ever upgrade it I will keep it, that is unles hyundai bring in the Equis !!.

I honestly like all of the comments here….Being a very satisfied owner of a chairman for the past 5 years i imagine that every1 that has left a comment in here NEVER had the fortune of driving such a great car. i am very disappointed that the car is not sold in Australia any more, it was (n still is) the best full size car i have driven. after 5 years it is still catching a lot of attention wherever i go. I have given up a Jaguar S for it 5 years ago and never regretted it. Restrain from commenting if you don’t know the car from the inside. Thank you

german will always be # 1 and everyone is copying them even stupid japanies ” they do nothing but copying mersedes in the ugly lexus .and this one is just garbage.

chairman is the best comfortable luxirous and even an o round car go ahead ssangyong as i can judge for the world Korea is the number one in technology bravooooooooooooooo
David Votoupal
There’s room for both Chairman H and Chairman W in our market. Pricing would be very competitive, the H would be a good price-leading luxury sedan and the W as a premium flagship. In Korea it competes with the Hyundai Genesis and Equus, and the Kia K9.
