Ssangyong is an Asian car company that was formed in 86, and since 1991 had had help from Mercedes to help improve quality control. In fact, one of their models - the Chairman (their only car) - uses the previous generation S-Classe underpinnings and looks pretty Mercedes-like. The Rodius does not.
Along with the Chairman, the Rodius (or Stavic depending on where you buy it) fills out an otherwise SUV filled lineup which includes the Musso (an old, dated looking thing), the Rexton (amazingly very nice looking), and the Korando (so Jeep like they were sued and forced to change the grille).
Up front car-like headlights flank a weird triangular grille. The wheels like tiny and shopping cart like. The sideglass forms a sedan like greenhouse with an triangular window by the tail that sweeps around into the back window. I think it's meant to look graceful, but makes it look overly fat. The rear view from the drivers seat must be horrible.

Bet it rides just as nice as it LOOKS, too! Those thimble-sized wheels must REALLY soak up a lot of road imperfections (like potholes!). Why, I bet the passengers hardly notice!
