Bentley Continental and Maybach 62 collide in Russia
 If a collision between a Toyota Corolla and a BMW 3-Series would be something normal, that happens practically daily, a collision between two extremely expensive cars like the Maybach 62 and the Bentley Continental is something that you rarely see.

Spy shots of the 2010 Maybach 57 and 62
 Maybach makes cars for the extremely rich people. Maybach tries and actually manages to make limousines that are alternatives to the classic Rolls Royce and Bentley cars. Owning a Maybach is a social statement, an exclamation that points out how well is a man doing financially. Maybach is a car that you do not drive, it is a car for which you get a driver while you sit in the back and enjoy the ride or establish the latest details of the companies you own. Unfortunately, some parvenus that are snobs have bought this car and they drive it themselves, and have a disgraceful attitude. ...

Maybach 62 Landaulet to be put into production?
 When accidents turn into miracles- this is the best example. The Maybach team witnissed a small, unharmful accident while testing their cars when suddenly a long wheelbase convertible run into one of their mules and there the idea of Maybach 62 Landaulet was brought to life. Technically it represents a cross between a sedan and a convertible and in its major aspects follows the lines of the Maybach 62 S. The team mentioned that the Landaulet combines a „majestic open-air experience with the ultimate in luxury and comfort”. However, very important for us, spectators to this fortunate accident, is the price concern. Well, from ...

Maybach sold 0 units in Australia in 2007
 Maybach did not manage this year to sell not even 1 unit in Australia! This news is quite striking as the Australians bought more than 1 million cars in 2007-this means that at a population of 20 million, 1 in 20 people could afford a car and, undoubtfully,luxury cars were sold too. This raises a problematic question-why do people choose to buy another luxury car than Maybach? Could it be the astonishing price, the size of the car (many consider it impracticable, hard to use and even "ugly" in comparison to its nearly priced competitors).What's more, is that luxury cars really did sell in Australia- ...
