![Question](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
It seems that people are questioning the Maybach's exterior styling (from germancarfans). People are saying that it's bland, ugly, looks like a Hyundai, etc. What do you all think? I truely think it's 100% ugly on the outside and it's a real disapointment!

Styling
The exterior of the car is bland. Honestly, it's hard to make a land yacht like a Maybach look elegant or even beautiful, and it is neither.
It's not really like a Hyundai or anything else, just an amalgam of all bland designs I've seen before, a sort of pastiche of a blancmange![Wink](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
The only thing impressive about the appearance of the car is its MASSIVE size, this thing makes a 1974 Caddy Sedan DeVille look like a puddle jumper.
Yes, the new Roller is ugly, but at least it's distinctive and demands attention due to its imposing road presence. A better job than the M-B, I think.
I have seen some very pretty large show cars such as the Pininfarina Nautilus (it's a shame that Peugeot did not build it), so it can be done.
Why M-B did not go to an outside design house such as Pininfarina (my favourite), Bertone, Ital Design etc for the Maybach is beyond me.
When creating a new marque (which the Maybach essentially is; let's face it, it has zero in common with the ur-Maybach), a distinctive brand identity is required. To me, the Maybach looks like the obese, uglier brother of the S-Class. Clearly it was done by M-B stylists. In this case, it's not a good thing.

A160 CLASSIC (The Tardis), VW Passat Diesel
interior does look awesome although has been criticism that too many parts have been share with the S class etc.
Can you argue that the lwb version is worth like 2.5 S600;s??
Exterior especially the front looks like a Hyundai...
