launched december 26, 2005, in case you're wondering

to be fair, i think Merc actually owns a stake in Ssangyong, and their cars utilize Merc's 5-speeder and in some cases, engines.

I know MB has some sort of affiliation with SSangYong, but I don't know if it is to the degree that MB is giving them S class lights, but you never know!

Haha! I cannot believe that it has the same looking headlights as the mercedes s550. Shame. S class is not the state of symbol any more and not anything special. I choose the A8L or the LS460L over that anyday. I had the 1995 S and that was the best.
