It looks trippy but yet cool looking. I think it looks better than a Bently personally! So Im assuming its going to be a new line of the MB or is there talk they might use that car to replace something current?

It looks no different than a bentley but probably will be half the price?

Here's a video walk-around of the car (starts at 1:38).. Apparently the announcer says, they are indicating they want to try and find a way to kill the maybach "branding" and bring the same "buyers" to these cars.. I have a feeling this one won't be cheap if produced... sounds like it may be more along the bentley pricing..

That is going to be one big roof. There will be enough material to set up the big top at the circus. They will have several layers for sound proofing, so you can imagine that it will take up quite a bit of space in the back. That said the car looks great.

That's the "Ocean Drive" concept car from MB. It's supposed to be the new S-Class "convertible" which is already being planned. Supposedly.
