Outrageous: wannabe "E Class" in Vienna

[fab1975]

Last week I was in one of the most beautiful cities in Europe... when suddenly I saw this monstrosity and literally thought "what the **** is this?!?"
Pardon my language, but I was just outraged. I had seen pictures of Chinese clones on the web, but meeting one in real life is a completely different story

Any idea of what it might be?

I take it you've never seen the ssangyong people carrier?

Thank you! Now I know exactly who to blame for the nausea on that day.
Interestingly enough, one of the names of that 4-wheeled opprobrium is Amanti, which is the Italian for "lovers".
It might make sense, as it looks like an illegitimate cross-breed between a proper w211 E Class... and a Kia Sephia! What do you think?

Ha! I stand corrected... That thing is hideous

If you refer to the SsangYong Rodius, it is indeed hideous, but at least it does not pretend to be what it is not. That does not mean that it deserves any respect though...

My first thought was an ugly clone of the current Lancia / Chrysler range....

 

[notlostyet]

oh no what bad taste lol

It's strange thai thing even exists, because I've always thought Kia was one of the more stylish of the Oriental car companies. Even their MPVs have reasonable lines..

But this.....they should hang their heads in shame.
