Mercedes is doing exactly what they need to. Killing the Maybach and moving the S class up market, well way up market in the past couple of years if you look at the prices. You used to be able to get a new S class for under $90k, now its $100k+ out the door.
Not to mention the SLR, and SL65.

I wonder if a more modern iteration of the 600 would have worked out better then the separate Maybach brand....

I think you may be right about the S-Class going 'more' upscale now that the CLS and GL have come along to fill in the 50k-90k gap
