If i'm not mistaken, The engine is the same like the S320 engine and gearbox. This car has MB technology in it.
That's why it's expensive |

I believe the first Ssangyong had some W124 bits in it as well. |

Now i remember, That syaoyang shape was suppose to be the 1995-2002 E class shape but instead MB scrapped the idea and use the round lights instead(W210) E class.
They gave or sell the plan to syongyang. |

I though Ssangyong bought the shape of the W124 didn't they? |

^^I'm not sure. I remember reading an article about this car.
This design is suppose to be the next E class after the W124.
That's why the shape from the front looks like a W124 E class but just slightly bigger. The rear end of this Syongyang is not though.It 's a bit diffeerent from the original MB plan. |

Mostly toyota Crowns are used in SIngapore. There are limited no. of merc taxis in Singapore. Only way you could use them is finding a MB taxi by night where they are not busy.LOL.

Yea, that's what they are called. Toyota Crown. I rode in a lot of them when I went to Singapore when I went to visit some relatives. Yea, I remember seeing some W124 taxis. I think they may charge more though... |

yea, Taxis are really abused. Poor W211. That's what that W211 gets for not being a W140. If it was a W140, it would be loved by its owner. |
