Curator's Comments: Posted to make up for the Chevrolet 210.
 
Classy. Not emotive, but very classy. And hey, at least unlike Maybachs and Audis, you won't immediately be deemed as a rich tool by others from the moment they see your car. Also, reclining passager seat? I hope that has a fridge for your champagne bottles, otherwise I will be very dissapointed.

I find it cool. Don't ask me why, I just do. Maybe it's because the car just looks so damm classy.
 
Uncool. Rep mobiles should be left for MB and BMW.
 
Depending on whether you take it to mean the leader of a country or the leader of a company, a luxury sedan called "President" is either comically aspirational or amusingly to-the-point. :lol:

At least it isn't called the "Dictator"... That would be the ultimate in tragic irony/comedy. :lol:
 
It's so emotionless but it's isn't your average A to B mobiles. Still Uncool though, despite they aren't Mercs or BMW's
 
Do they have a smaller luxury sedan called "Prime Minister"?

While it isn't called something absolutely absurd like "Great Leader" or something, saying "I drive a President" sounds ridiculous enough for instant seriously uncool.
 
If Ssangyong made executive saloons...

SU.
 
IMO, it's really a "meh" car, but I did give it a "cool" for being one of the two JDM(not 'JDM yo!', but domestic inside Japan) VIP car. I think they always played catch up to Toyota Century, but that's really clear with this car.
 
The hipster's Maybach. Cool.
 
Meh.

With its understated looks and cool-headed attitude, it may be the perfect executive car, but then, I'm not an executive. It could've got a few precious bonus points for the choice of engine (the VK45 is, after all, the same engine that powered the Super GT500 350Z and GT-R, and many LMP2 cars), but who even cares about the motivation of their car when they won't be driving?
 
Hm... Nissan sedan with a V8?

If only it looked less understated... Still cool though.
 
Are we sure that's not just a late-90s Hyundai Grandeur with updated headlights?

I think SsangYong only stopped using a long-obsolete Mercedes platform as a basis for their Chairman saloon last year. Their current model just happens to have a Merc drivetrain with cheap S-Class looks and a Skoda backside.
 
As opposed to the Nissan Gloria,

a stately old woman, who in her younger years, had a resemblance to Lady Bentley,

amongst others... President Nissan is about as attractive as Abraham Lincoln.

In the case of President Abe, it doesn't matter, as he delivered the Gettysburg Address. President Nissan, on the other hand, never made much of a statement. He was the homeliest and most unpopular of all the Presidents, and the line died out with him.

Uncool. Because luxury shouldn't mean riding around in something that looks like an overstuffed Sentra with a chrome grille.

Not seriously uncool because... well... actually, it probably should be.

Because no way in hell is this thing any cooler than the Toyota Century that was polled here back in 2010.

In whose poll I said:

Escapes being seriously uncool because it's not a Maybach.

Given the President is nearly as ugly as a Maybach, it should get a big fat S.U..
 
I fell asleep looking at this thing. Meh.
 
looks like a Fake Town Car.

Uncool
 
mustafur

Except it doesn't. At all. It looks like a luxed-up Cima/Q45 with the traditional President grille. Because that's what it is.

Grandma's car isn't cool.
 
Very understated looks, luxury interior that looks very well put together. Driving one around here wouldn't get you noticed which will be down to it's blandish looks.

Low cool.
 
This car strikes none of my emotions whatsoever.

Meh.
 
Meh. Looks good done up VIP style like the Cima but standard it's dreadfully boring.
 
"276 horsepower"

Well, if that's what you want to say it is. Yes, I know why it's 276, or at least quoted as such.

I'd call this meh. Just some boring luxury sedan. There are cooler luxury sedans. Someone mentioned the Toyota Century. I'd probably rather have a Century.
