    I wish Merc could/would have truelly honored Maybach as a true "one off" make and not based it on a Merc chassis. Hell the Lexus LS460 offers a reclining back seat.

    Point being I do no understand why Maybach's cannot be a built per order on an original specific chassis with original coachwork. The Maybach we have now is just a Merc with another $200K added because of the name when in reality we all know what it is.

    I miss the true coach builders who designed everything from the frame to the engine. I miss 'engine turned' artwork like the Bugs had in the glory days.

    Sadly, even Hyundai has a model with this option now.

    The Mercedes looks soooo much better than the Maybach.

    the classic big Merc is a classis ^^ you guys have to remember too, that Maybach and Mercedes were two seperate companies, unlike now where merc simply owns the maybach name

    I sometimes think I was born in the wrong time period. Its hard to appreciate some of todays cars when they looked that good back in the 1920/30s.

    Well, 1938 Germany probably wouldn't be a place and time I would like to have been born.
