The New Mercedes Maybach?

why don't you google it and get the pics. you started the thread so get us the pics. i don't really dig the maybach.

I'd never buy an expensive car like this one.  I'd buy fuel-efficient Toyota.  I'd rather not be broke. 

the simple truth is that seun loves toyota.


just the way i love mercedes, this is pic of maybach i found

any money used on mercedes is never a waste, mind you

No Its the other way around. DaimlerBenz the parent company of Mercedes took over Chrysler in 1998. That makes Chrysler a german company. Your generalization is quite true, but totally ignorant. Although mercedes has been off their game since 1995, Today their quality is up to standard. They are still the undisputed champions in Luxury cars. The S-class has been top of its class for ever and despite stronger models from competitors, it still outsells its closest rival 3-1.

The maybach is still a waste of money. It does not too much advantage over the S-class compared to its stratosperic pricetag. That explains why the maybach has never sold more than half of its forecasted sales figure of 1000 a year. When it comes to top luxury, S-class is king. If its ULTRA luxury, Rollsroyce and Bentley have a better image.

Ok I admit I messed up for not stating the class of vehicle I meant by "luxury cars" I was referring to the high end class which consists of the BMW 7 series, Audi A8, Lexus LS430, Jaguar XJ, and the S-class. Mercedes does not have it easy in the lower luxury segments, but at this level its total domination. The outgoing model was still at the top of the sales charts when the new one was introduced, something that raely happens.

About Dieter Zetsche a.k.a Dr. Z. He was put in place by the then Daimler Benz CEO Jurgen Schremp to head chrysler after the takeover. Dr. Z took psoition of CEO when Schremp resigned last year because of his leadership helped make Chrysler the only profitable member of the daimler Chrysler family.

Back to the Maybach.  The car is heavily overengineered and is a loss making model.  All I have been trying to say is why buy a MayBach when you can get all it has in the 3 times cheaper S-class. Mercedes will learn their lesson from the current Maybach and make the next one worhty of the price. For now it looks like an ugly  bloated  S-class, It lacks the sense of occassion that Rollsroyce and Bentley exude.

@naijadey now you are making sense.

@samm   you say benz's define luxury in the US but benz'z are not doing that well in the US luxury market, please post links that prove otherwise. How many benz's do you see on the street compared to Lexus or even BMW's and Audi's.
even their SUV's (G'class) are not doing as well as the Escalade, Navigator and Range rover

The maybach had it tough competing against BMW's Rolls Royce not to talk of the maserati and bentley. I would always buy a Rolls Royce instead of a maybach if i ever wanted an ultra luxury car. . What were they thinking trying to upstage BMW?

Guy, I don't have links that say otherwise.  Benz's are not suppose to be seen commonly, they are luxury rides.  Navigators, Escalades , those are crap not luxury.  Audis except A8s are semi luxury and  there aren' t too many A8s seen on the streets.  Ranges are luxury but the value depreciates too fast (especially the previous body style)so that is debatable.   Now BMWs and Benzes. Those are comparable and guy there are just as many of each other seen on the streets. 
I repeat again, BMW and Benzes define true luxury.

that car is too ugly to spend 1.6 million dollars on. I'll rather buy the saleen . The world's fastest car

  :-*the car ^up moi!
