Mercedes Introducing Six new S-Class models

6 New S-Class Models Rise from the Ashes of Maybach

In order to fill the space in the super luxury segment that Maybach left when they were shut down, they've decided to expand the S-Class line by six models. It makes sense, considering the company was losing upwards of $400,000 on each model.

What are you guys looking forward to?

"A new range of engines is said to equip these line where a turbocharged 1.8L petrol should be expected."

Seriously?

Probably not for the US, obviously. Keep in mind the smallest engine in the W221 currently available is the 2.1 diesel.

I'm very much looking forward to the S-Class coupe. Also the Pullman is going to be a monster of a car. It'll be way cheaper for them to produce compared to the Maybach. I can't wait to see what they do.

Isn't the CL based on the same platform as the S? Thus if theres a S- Class coupe wouldn't that phase out the CL?

Not surprised. Where was the advertising? Where was the brand image boosting?
Not enough prescence to compete with the likes of Bentley/Rolls Royce/etc.
At least as Mercedes they can grow.

Yeah, I assume so. Since the W140 still had the S-Class coupe initially, and the CL name replaced that, they're just going back to their original naming scheme.
