Had manufacturer plates, badges were missing. Seemed complete / "production"--no sensors, cladding or any of the garbage cars in development have.

 

Ssangyong Actyon

 

That was the first name that popped into my head. Odd that the badges would be pried off with California manufacturer plates on it...I wonder if some other company isn't importing it? They don't sell those here.

edit: found it:

In 2008, Phoenix Motorcars in Ontario, California introduced the Phoenix SUV and Phoenix SUT for fleet managers. These 2 Electric-powered vehicles based on the design of the SsangYong Actyon SUV and SUT. The production to the public is possible by 2010.

 

As my cousin in Dubai would say "I don't think human beings have created anything uglier than the front of this car. I don't even think you could find anything this ugly at the bottom of the ocean."

 

It's not the new Aztec?

 

It really was horrendous looking

 

I just checked out the Phoenix website and they're claiming a 100-mile range on just 10 minutes charge. That's pretty damn impressive.

But why base it on that monstrosity? Ssangyong must use a rabid monkey as its designer have a look at this eyesore

 

were you on the 10?

 

Either the 210 or the 60.
