The Korean-made Mercedes MB. It loks rather like a Hiace but is FWD,
with an inline straight-5 diesel 2.9. Idiotic layout execpt for
running unladen in ice/snow.

I suspect this is not a real Mercedes, but a Ssangyong design;
Ssangyong makes a big heavy ugly 4WD wagon with Mercedes mechanicals
& warranty. needless to say the 2.9 diesel version is dangerously
gutless.

The only image I have is on a SmartMedia card which my multiformat
reader won't read (won't read any other cards either, for that
matter).
