message: These cars are not Mercedes-Benz; there is not a single Mercedes-Benz badge on them. For sub-brands of a brand such as Maybach, the usage is to use the sub-brands; {I can't decipher his intent here...} for instance there is no article about "Ford Mercury" or "General Motors Saab" or "DaimlerChrysler Dodge" or "Volkswagen Bentley". The original 1997 prototype of the Tokyo Motorshow was indeed called "Mercedes-Benz Maybach" and was bearing the Mercedes logo, but afterwards, DaimlerChrysler made the decision to market Maybach as a separate brand.

replies: text: The Maybach 57 and 62 actually started life as a concept car from Mercedes-Benz called the Mercedes-Benz Maybach. Later, they were turned into standalone revivals of the Maybach brand. But the cars are designed and engineered by Mercedes-Benz. Hence the resemblance of the Maybach 57/62 to the new S-Klasse. All the stuff that you see in Maybachs now will eventually trickle down to the future S-Klasses of the future.(Myscrnnm (talk) 00:53, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Does anyone have a reference regarding the fact that this vehicle is derived from the W140 ? The dimensions of the platform are so different that I am somewhat surprised by this statement. Hektor 07:43, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The prototype could be based on W140 but the production version is for sure based on more modern W220 and V220YBSOne (talk) 07:53, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

message: Anybody else heard about this? Some of the websites are calling it the Landaulet, even though that's a different model. --Ragemanchoo (talk) 09:49, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Maybach 2-door convertible?

message: The Price section in the article ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maybach_57_and_62#Prices ) has an error.  The conversion factor between Euros and US dollars has been reversed on all but the entry for the Landaulet.   I'll leave that for someone who is sure which is the correct starting price to fix.

message: I doubt that what is called a Landaulet by Maybach in fact is one. While a real landaulet is defined by a collapsible top over the rear part of the passenger compartment (including roof quarter panels), the Maybach offers a large sliding roof that includes the rear window, but quarter panels and roof sides stay in place.--Chief tin cloud (talk) 12:41, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: That bugged me as well. I suppose if it had taken off there might have been enough material for a dedicated article on the Landaulet and its celebrity owners. I guess after a decade Birdman doesn't have the public profile he used to. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 20:24, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
