Ssangyong Automotive: Purveyors of Eye Poison (part 1)

Feast your eyes on the Ssangyong Actyon, one of the ugliest cars in God's creation. Some say that the most surefire way for a country to meet its Kyoto Protocol-mandated carbon emissions cap is to order people to drive Actyons.

These are also the only people who never have to sell the car directly to the consumer.

That last one was actually about the Actyon Sports, which is even more depressing:
