ROLF!! Or an Arnage version VW Touerg. I agree with you the idea is totally ridiculuos. Jumping on the SUV trend is some what a desperate action manufacturers do these days iin hope to increase their sales.. I pray to God that we won't see some hideous SUV creation from MB.
Although the Maybach sales are dropping faster than the value of Enron shares dropped in 2003 don't expect MB to can the Maybach brand anytime soon. BMW has RR and Audi has Bentley, there is simply no way that MB will let them rule the world of exquisite luxury cars all alone.
Personally I don't think there is no idea for MB to create an ultra luxurious MM car to compete with the Phantom are the Arnage. They are simply too well established car models and are almost unbeatable. The best products for the brand would be totally unique ones like a gigantic four door coupe, 4 door cab or maybe even a four door SUV coupe with a presidental feeling like the G-wagon. They simply need to re-define the brand like BMW has done with RR.
