whoa!...this looks good!...but are we talking S class competition here?...if so this doesn't make sense...I had read about a third model being added to the Maybach lineup due to sales problems...I'll find the article and post it...

The spy pics were given for the new S Class some times ago so what is the truth ?
I would be surprised to see another 4 doors in the Maybach plan, but why not. I thought (and read) that they would release a coupe instead.

Where did you take this info ?

ps : I also find this car much better looking than the bigger ones

A spy car page , cant remember the page , i was looking for the new Grand cherokee pics and i ended with this , they argue that was the new S-class too , but the photoshoped pics say that its teh new maybach , was like channel 4 or something ....

Rims are awesome in all concept or photoshoped cars , but when they come into reality , they are smaller always

Maybach has problem selling the 57 and the 62 so why bring out another car that would have all the same features as their brothers have. Only a coupe or convertible would make any sens. Fact is that those photoshop pcs are not true.

At first glance they look exactly the same, but once I looked closer I must admit that it is so much nicer (although the 57 and 62 are beautiful as well). Gr8 find dude!!

BTW - any news on the price ?? I just wonder how it refers to the value of the S-Class.

The 53 seems to have S-Class written all over it. I dont know, i dont htink MB have been original enough in their design of it. The New S-Class,... hmm, talk about evolution.

The 57 and 62 ended up looking like streched Rover 75s in side profile. Hehe. Me? I'd take an RR Phantom anytime.
