FactIt was briefly badged to become the Roewe R95 in China, a plan quietly dropped before any buyer got one.
The second-generation SsangYong Chairman W (2008–2017; model years 2008–2018), related to the Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W211) and briefly planned as the Roewe R95 in China, replaced the Chairman H in 2008 with new petrol engines (the CW700 appeared in 2011–2013, with a redesign in 2013). The 3.2 I6 XGi320 (3,199 cc) gave 225 PS (222 hp) at 6,600 rpm and 296 N·m (218 lb·ft) at 4,600 rpm, the 3.6 I6 XGi360 (3,598 cc) 250 PS (247 hp) and 343 N·m (253 lb·ft), and the 5.0 V8 XGi500 (4,966 cc) 306 PS (302 hp) at 5,600 rpm and 441 N·m (325 lb·ft), all with a listed top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). It was succeeded in name by the Roewe 950 (R95) that never reached SsangYong buyers.

It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.

The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
