True, Bentley has more models and out sales Rolls and Maybach. But Rolls only has one car and thats the Phantom. Of course when the Coupe comes out that will only be two compare to the Maybach 1 (57&62 one body style).

I think Maybach has to define then design identity a little more with a new model. The Excelero was a good idea of how distinct a Maybach could be.

What about the Ocean Drive Concept HOH, do you think that maybe it should be developed in to a Maybach production car?

I appreciate what they're gunning for with the Booklands, but I think it's just a bore. I'm not seeing "classic" in these lines, I'm seeing "dated."

Count me disappointed. The CGT and Flying Spur signaled a marvelous direction for the brand, but this just feels too dry to me.

I don't think it should Rob. The design is too 'Mercedes'. Maybach needs to establish it's own design identity.

^^You're right Mr.Mercedes. Maybach needs to be designed from scratch. They need to get some new designers for Maybach, or at least tell the current designers that who ever uses MB design cues for the Maybach will get an ass-whooping.
