Re: Paris 2006: Maybach 57 S in a Shining White Livery Revealed - 09-14-2006, 07:20 AM

I have a feeling Maybach doesn't know what to do with the 57 or 62 at this point. They've resorted to the oldest trick in the book, lots of special editions and fancy colors, but choice and personalization aren't the Maybach's problems. The part that has to hurt is that these care likely the best cars in the world, yet non of the rich seem to care. I mean it is built on the uber-tank W140 chassis and updated with modern tech and the best materials and outpowers anything else with 4-doors and yet few buyers. If the original faction that wanted this Maybach are still employed at MB they've likely been demoted to working on the next C-Class.
