Maybach brand has not justified the hopes pinned on it.

During the eight years of its existence, Maybach brand has not justified the hopes pinned on it. He had to compete with Bentley (part of the empire Volkswagen) and Rolls-Royce (owned by BMW). However, the "older" brother's Mercedes-Benz from it and did not. Maybach, rather, is seen as a luxury version of the S-Class, but not as the intrinsic value of the car. Sales of cars under this brand because of the crisis has declined steadily. Now, if you believe the rumors, Daimler intends to terminate the existence of the brand Maybach. But not at once. First to be released a little bit updated line of cars. And then the German company tries to make a second attempt to gain a foothold in the market for ultra-expensive cars, releasing an exclusive version of the Mercedes S-Class.
