You completely overlooked the joke.
But anyway the failure of Maybach is not down to just the car but also the marketing too which was non-existent, they could have done something interesting in fact the whole thinking behind Maybach is anonymous. I have a few ideas that ultimately I believe would have worked but they are not for hire.
They were just too interested in letting the entertainment and the financial world market their car in which some elements of statelyness and royalty did not appreciate the "bling" culture associated with Maybach.

To see how unsure Daimler are uncertain of the Maybach look at the Ocean Drive Concept - originally intended as a Maybach Concept as the idea fits within Maybach's premium image. But they got cold feet and rebadged the car as a Mercedes-Benz - Personally if the car was badged as a Maybach it would have worked and be a preview of an exciting future. All we got was the Laundaulet by then the nails were getting ready to be hammered into it's coffin.

Seeing Britney Spiers carooning around in a 62S in her latest video is just one of many nails in the coffin for the Maybach.
Lending hip hop stars the Exelero Concept for their latest video showcases the desperation marketing were at. at least when puff daddy , Jay-Zee came calling for the Rolls-Royce 100EX (before the drophead Coupe) to feature in their latest video - BMW said no and not just once either.

So what do we have left the strong indication of a Maybach Concept car at the IAA in September which rumours suggest is a SUV based on the GL-Klasse chassis. "Which is what customers want" apparently?

Ha-ha. Scott, you are a funny guy you know. Puff, Jay-Z, Master P etc are just show men. They want the latest and the most exclusive. 100EX was the latest, big, expensive and nothing else. Puf used SLR in his video. Shit! Every idiot uses S-class or CLS in the video. Shit!

Do you think that Maybach customers even know who Britney Spears is??? If you are talking about some idiotic rappers covered with gold, than yes.

The only mistake in the Maybach is its exterior. It doesn't shout all over the town "I am the most expensive", "idiot inside is a very. very.very rich man". Maybach is more comfortable, faster, better equipped, has much more space inside. But it is not made for people on the street, looking at it. It is made for one inside of the car. Do you know what i mean?

Yes but I long for the days of De La Soul , A Tribe called Quest , Cypress Hill amongst others... That was music back in my day if anyone has progressed and rose above todays modern acts I would have to say it's the Beastie Boys.

Please, would you show me some proof or link?
