Damn ...I'm so dumb.

I wonder if a moderator could please merge this thread with Marcus's one CAR Magazine - Maybach at the crossroads -- please add my above post to that thread and delete this thread.


Thank you

Done.

This article seems to be a recycling of the old one that started this and another thread in this forum.

That's exactly what they should have done in the first place: made it a 600

But maybe that would dilute the 'grandeur' of the old 600's? I mean..the Maybach isn't the prettiest car around and you'd risk sullying the memory of the 600 by naming the new Maybach after it :/

What do you think?

I think it had to be called something different because calling it 600 would have been confusing .....people would confuse it with the S600 etc. The original 600 was built at a time when branding and marketing were nothing like they are now, a modern Mercedes 600-type vehicle would need to have a very strong identity in the current marketplace ...and although the Maybach vehicle has not been very successful, the brand has certainly been developed very well. I think there is a future for the Maybach brand as long as they get the design of the vehicles right.
