Just when you thought it couldn't get any better...
« on: July 30, 2007, 04:36:53 AM »
Ssangyong introduces revised Rodius :faint:

Holy cow - is this thing a looker, or what?!

Ssangyong Motor introduced some styling changes and a new turbodiesel engine for its Rodius minivan.

In addition to cosmetic changes, which include a new front bumper, grille, new taillights and a roof spoiler, there's the addition of the XDi 270 variant. It comes equipped with a EUR4-compatible turbodiesel engine.

I don't see the article or photos in link (need to be member there?)

That is (still) one ugly sucker. Not even ugly in a good way like Ami6 or something.

I see a Prius with a modern interpretation of that Nissan Pulsar "sportbak" pseudo-wagon thingy grafted on.





Really, it's there, you just have to squint a bunch. :)

... and have taken a good snort of ether to go with the mescaline you washed down with the tequila. A sharp rap upside the head with a tire iron probably will round out the image...

Sadly, the car you describe sounds infinitely more palatable than the road toad pictured above. If I had to choose between that and a Aztec, I'd take up jogging.
