    Vision Mercedes-Maybach Ultimate Luxury SUV Leaks Out

      That's not a Buick....

    Mercedes-Benz has been teasing for the past few weeks their showing at Auto China which is expected to be an SUV. But thanks to someone accidentally posting photos on the official Mercedes-Benz website, we have gotten our first look at the Vision Mercedes-Maybach Ultimate Luxury concept - quite the mouthful.

    The design... the less said about it, the better. It's a sedan with a tall ride height - think Volvo S60 Cross Country or Subaru Outback sedan. The front features the tall, vertical slat grille seen on the facelifted Mercedes-Maybach S-Class. The rear end styling is similar to the S-Class coupe with small taillights and angled trunk lid. The interior picture reveals seating for four, blue accent lighting, and a Maybach-branded tea set for rear passengers.

    The powertrain is comprised of four electric motors delivering a total 738 horsepower, and an 80-kWh lithium-ion battery pack that provides an estimated range of 310 miles.

    I am on board with the front half of this but I have no idea why an s-class coupe trunk is on an SUV.  Mercedes needs to pass on this body style.  However, if they built this, at least 5 other car makers will build an SUV with a trunk to copy this.

    This...deserves a frowny face.  Nothing this hideous will make ANY automaker copy it. Not even the Chinese or the Koreans...

    Well...we've seen this styling before...

    From Mercedes...

    And we all know the PT Cruiser was throwback styling to these...

    Yes! American cars from the mid to late 1930s just before America entered WW2 and the US automakers shut down automobile production...

    This a Buick. 1938.

    These are high off the ground. They actually DO have a trunk. They got today's high beltline styling. They look aerodynamic...

    Ive actually said this before...if we are gonna go down the SUV craze for a tad longer...I want my  SUV to look like this.

    Now...take that monstrosity rendering from Mercedes.

    Which one would YOU like to be seen in?

    Id take the 1938 Buick Special please!!!

    The design is more coherent. More fluid. More elegant...and dare I say it?  MORE MODERN!!!!  Even with those fenders and the upright windshield!!! 

    So...like I said, NOBODY would be copying that M-B. Its UGLY!

    If anything...automakers would be looking to Harley Earl's designs from 80 years ago for inspiration...

    Mercedes-Maybach Ultimate Luxury

    You know what?

    Id still take the Eagle over the Mercedes...

    Its just a rendering though, so all this negative talk over the Mercedes is for nothing. 

    All that I wanted to say is that what is old is new again...

    I don't think they will build this, but I did get a 1930s vibe from it when I first saw it.   They are going to do a Maybach trim of the GLS.  If they do a standalone Maybach model, no way will it look like this.

    Hey some sugar daddy or momma probably can’t even bother to look poor by lifting their arms to press the auto lift gate so Mercedes engineered the solution to be a trunk for an SUV.

    Thinking outside the trunk - if every car with a lift gate can get the auto down feature, even some cheap Chevy or Toyota, innovate by getting rid of the lift gate! 

    The luxury of not looking like or using yours as any other utility on the market!

      I forgot this one from a visit to the State of New York.  This one was seen at Bear Mountain State Park. It looks like a Saturn Skye.  In my opinion, Saturn had the best looking minivan (Relay), the best looking compact (Aura), and the best looking two-seater (this) at the very end of those vehicle category runs for GM. Even if they shared mechanical underpinnings, these cars just looked a little bit cleaner than those of the others.

      Awesome specimen.    Sadly though, it is no longer available for sale.  Did the seller find a buyer?  At $48 000, it is relatively cheap to buy.  Does that mean muscle cars are going down in price?  Maybe its not a "numbers matching" 455.  Perhaps an aftermarket "upgrade".  It does have an Edelbrock stamp on the block which explains the "low" price of 48 thousand.   Either way, Id buy it.  Well...not now.  Owning a "vintage" muscle car would be #2 of my dreams and wishes.   Im on my way of realizing my #1  of dreams and wishes.  Owning a home (condo) on a Greek island.  My financials are almost there for that.  If #1 is not fullfilled, then #2 would happen.  But #1 looks to be right on track.  Only thing I will whine about is: Although I LOOOOVE Cragar SS wheels,  ESPECIALLY on muscle cars, I somehow disapprove of them on a 442.  The rich that support him are making even MORE money with him there so no...they will NOT listen. They do not care.  The others are racist bastards that as long as the ones they hate are in worse shape than they are, then they will allow trump to destroy the country.  It WILL take the rest of you to fight for your country.    To remove him FORCIBLY  and all those other cancerous shyteholes that have infected your country.
