Anyone who has driven a Maybach will understand how amazing this car really is. However, I believe that this car came around at the wrong time and by the wrong company. As much as I love this car and enjoyed every second behind the wheel of it the car just doesnt work now a days really. They took the S Class made it larger and put tons of more goodies into it with the exception of a couple small things. Getting inside one there is no expense spared of course. Being $400,000+ the price of a car like this that sells less then 500 a year is hard to do especially in down economic times. The brand many people do not know of and most would go with a Rolls Royce or a Bentley due to being familiar with them more. As the prices come down and they are I think you will see more people jumping in on the Maybach. I have seen many listed for around the $100,000-$160,000 marl. As much as I like these things it is a much smarter move to end the Maybach and put the effort to the S Class to keep it the car it always has been-Amazing!
