SsangYong is dead

After decades of life-support, South Korean shot-callers will strap Ssangyong ‘Straya into old sparky, on the morrow, whence it will be lit up, and then resurrected, kinda like Jesus, and henceforth be known as KGM AustraliaKGM Australia's first major achievement, tomorrow, will be to launch a glorious new slogan - where would we be without those? “Korean built to last.” With no punctuation, but hey.“Korean built to last.” Guaranteed to resonate so powerfully with all 12 or 13 Australians who buy one in coming months. Well done, solving the company’s major strategic issues as a top priority.In other news, there’s a new Actyon. Less hideous than previously (not hard). Bit of a Land Rover rip-off on the styling, but hopefully more reliable than an actual Land Rover. Still gutless, though - because some things never change.
