We don’t often hear from Ssangyong, so it was with a slight glee that we picked up this sweet image of a concept vehicle from the South Koreans. Suggestions are a debut at the Paris Motor Show next month, and well after that perhaps next Rexton or Kyron? More likely a future Actyon if size is any measurement to go by. Who knows. This concept though has a 2.0-litre engine with 175hp.
Ssangyong really needs to excel now like its countrymen Kia and Hyundai. This means getting rid of old Mercedes-Benz engine technology and desisting naming their concepts after three-pointed-star products, like this one which is called the C200. Our image may not do it much justice but comparing this to a Kyron is like comparing Whoopi Goldberg to Cindy Crawford. So we’ll have to wait for Paris for a better view.
Ssangyong C200 Concept: a Future Actyon in Paris?

You serious?? for a ssangyong it looks pretty good. even so, it might not be very original-looking, but it's definitely looks up to par to current looks

I hate both this and the X6, but you'll rather be in a BMW than a Ssasyong.

Looks like they ditched Greenley alright, its been unvield that Italdesign/Giorgetto Giugiaro could be involved design new future Ssangyong models. Looking forward to it.

looks absolutely fantastic, Ssangyong makes often badly reardesigns. I hope it's better on C200

Looks like a R8
Nah, seriously beside the point that this is just a rendering and some angles seem to be way off, this looks somehow good. But it's still a SsangYong and that takes away a lot of bonus points.
The lower fascia looks to me like it was taken from a...
...Kuga, Mondeo, something Fordish.
