Re: Official pics of the Maybach (Orjan)

It kinda reminds me of a Zagoto crossed with an old Bugatti.

It still looks small compared to the 30s Maybach Zeppelin.

Re: Official pics of the Maybach (A4Jetta)

Eolair's right, if you think this is huge then you must see the original Maybachs which were the biggest and most exclusive cars on the world prior to World War II. And with magnificent engines to boot in the airship V12 (200bhp and some streamliner sedans could apparently do 120mph which was excellent for the day). The smaller six-banger models were verry advanced for their day with many modern engineering features.
But really, is this monstrosity a car to recall that great heritage. I think not. The original Maybach meant restrained and dignified styling. This new thing has the exact opposite. And once again, designers have forgotten that especially for luxury cars, it's the simple 3-box shape which is timeless and most elegant.

Re: Official pics of the Maybach (David Votoupal)

Hmmm. No pictures of the rear end. If you follow the lines off the roof to the trunk, it looks like the rear of this car should share some striking similarities to the new BMW 7 Series.
