Maybach RIP

There will be no new Maybach models in the future....
But 6 more models based on the new S-Class... maybe convertible and more...

It was the greatest version, that the W140 S-class, could never have been. I wonder how many will miss or even remember this great feat of Daimler Benz Engineering.

The best or nothing
That is a good decision.. The new S-Classes will get a better technology and luxury materials overall.

Such a wonderful car now put to rest. It remained luxurious without being overstated. I'd rather have a Maybach than a Rolls or Bently anyday.

Maybach, a true legend in a new era of technology. I don't own one, but would love the money to have one someday, if they come back. Otherwise, it'll be a S-class!

They made a nice run of them for many years....based on a 20 year old chassis to boot ! Thanx Bruno.

I got to ride in a white Landaulet around Manhattan a few years ago; I felt like the Pope. I've never been in another vehicle that makes you feel like you are someone super special (when you are really not)
