I agree. The original car should have been "The Maybach by Mercedes-Benz" like they originally intended, but a whole group of cars with the Maybach name wouldn't work. The Mercedes-Maybach would have been one-off, special-order type car, rare and expensive. The 57S and 62S would have been the original Maybachs if it had been left up to me.
