                    [Summary] => 



I’ve always been intrigued by Ssangyong. To most people, they might be reminded about the midsized Musso SUV of about a decade ago. (It’s still around as a pickup.) Surprisingly, fewer Filipinos seem to actually relate this third largest Korean automaker with a vehicle that made a much bigger impact in the Philippine automotive market, the MB 100 van. Yup, the Mercedes-badged MB 100 is a Ssangyong product, the Korean firm having long-standing technical ties with the prestigious German automaker.

With that in mind, why not travel in style?
