View the profileThe Roewe 850 is SAIC's luxuary limosine, it is expected to have it's debut at the 2009 Shanghai Auto Show.
Currently there are few details officialy available but it is thought to be based on a Ssangyong Chairman W with most development carried out by Ssangyong R&D staff in Korea before being brought in-house prior to SAIC putting it's Ssangyong joint venture into bankrupcy protection.
