Ugh, sorry to be a little biased here, but this manufactuer should just let it go. I'm suprised how they get their terribly designed cars to sell.

If you've ever stepped into some of their cars, they do have some good ideas in the interior, but god the exterior 'design' if you can call it that is just beyond dreadful. And the engine and chassis technology is lifted from late 80's. If I was SAIC, I'd rather try and buy a more modern car manufacturer, it'd be surely cheaper than trying to develop Ssangyong into the 21st century.

As sad as it may seem...not even Koreans are sad to see this happen. They blame everything on the aggressive labor union who only care about fattening themselves and voted to sell the company to SAIC in the first place.
The company should have been left to fold years ago.
But ofcourse SAIC didn't do much to improve the company either because they didn't deliver on their promise for added investment.
Infact, there is great resentment that SAIC just used SsangYong to gain the licensed engines and transmission from Mercedes and steal other manufacturing information...(ofcourse the running joke is...what is there to steal? Take those cars away to China! We don't want to see those ugly cars here anymore!)
