Frankenstein's Bride. The doors and wheels look like Mercedes, the tail lamps look like BMW 3 series Compact, and it looks cobbled together from spares.

Is it by chance a Ssangyong Chairman?

No, it's got nothing to do with any Mustang, and not with SsangYong, either...

Is it Chinese?

It's a striking Chinese feat to combine styling elements from different cars and brands and put them together at will(anyone remember that Renault Mégane Cabrion knockoff with the Mercedes front?)

I see your point. But it's not Chinese.

But used Passat platform. I misunderstood your previous post - thought  'not completely' instead of 'not at all'.

Ah. Well, it's not from Brazil, and as far as I know, it's not based on a Passat.

Nope. Which leads us to the next question...

Is it Asian at all?

No, it isn't!

Anything to do with Erich Bitter?
