This may be a stupid question but will the mayback be badged a mercedes? I see pics of the car with the 3 pointed star and some without.

No... Maybach will NOT be badged as Mercedes.... in fact, MB is bringing back Maybach brand.... so, it would be Maybach by Mercedes-Benz....

The first styling concept was badged Mercedes-Benz and carried the three-pointed star. However, it has been made clear that the car will be branded Maybach and will carry a rather dubious "MM" within a triangle as a hood ornament (Maybach Manufaktur).

What a lot of people don't know is that the name Mayback came from Diamler's origanal partner. They patnted the first v engine to. Another neat thing is that Diamler and Benz never met.
personally I would have liked the v24 engine better than the 12.

I wish Chrysler and Daimler never met!!!
