I'm interested in buying a Ssanyong or Daewoo Musso or Korando. I thought this mght be a good place for advice as one website claims they are just rebodied Merc G-Wagens. I will post my question in the buying advice section.

PS Before you shoot me, I do have a real Merc - a W210 E320 V6. fabulous car! But totally useless in snow and ice.

hmmm, i might be wrong but i don't think they are rebodied G. Having the same engine does not mean they are the same car...

Re: Hi - I'm a usurper here, hope you don't mind.

only the engines and gearboxes are Mercedes, suspension completely different and the build quality is piss poor, Musso is a particularly ugly piece of kit but the 320 straight six is a very nice engine, and I quite like the looks of the Korando but would not buy one. You have a 210 V6 320, again the engine is probably the best bit of it. If a single car trashed Mercedes reputation for reliability it was this one :cry: So to answer your question these Korean icons have no more in common than a TVR has with a Leyland/DAF which both at one time or other used a Rover V8, who ever wrote the article is a half wit. :wink:
