Mercedes’ next vehicle is a 20-foot luxury electric Maybach that you’ll “want to drive yourself”

What do you guys think about this new design/direction?

looks like a jaguar f type picture ,,, with your screen on the wrong res setting

azguy · 24 August 2016, 05:16 AM

damn, that's low, how are the old guys going to get in and out ?

superdog · 24 August 2016, 05:21 AM

I do not like that. And I like nearly everything.

cda555 · 24 August 2016, 05:21 AM

I'm sure it is nice to drive, but it looks like a nightmare to park.

subtona · 24 August 2016, 05:23 AM

man thats sexy!!!

i would have to route my entire trip to traffic lights vs stop signs…no way i could pull out to see traffic without half the car in the intersection

No thanks, I'll have a Rolls Royce Phantom, extended wheelbase please.

Love it - just ship it to me !

Lordofrolex · 24 August 2016, 06:19 AM

Very cool but not practical. You couldn't even park as you car would be sticking out of spots. I think this a concept car. Not real.

TK-710 · 24 August 2016, 06:31 AM

The engine sounds amazing. 200 miles per charge. 60 miles on a five minute charge.

GradyPhilpott · 24 August 2016, 08:52 AM

I like it, but I wouldn't want to own one.

nick c · 24 August 2016, 10:53 AM

Wow it's so sexy love it

mfer · 24 August 2016, 11:33 AM

I love it. I think loooooong coups look cool for some reason. Cadillac sixteen is another.

Looks like cars out of future anime shows!

GB-man · 24 August 2016, 12:04 PM

When I see something that looks like it belongs to cruella deville I want to hear that it has a straight 8 or a V12 under the hood.

Who is parking it? If you own the car, you're likely sitting in the back of it.

Whoops I must've skimmed past that part. It's been a long day

Lamone · 24 August 2016, 01:15 PM

Design is stunning. I love it, but too long for my needs.
Try doing reverse 180 with this one...

OmegaJJH · 24 August 2016, 09:50 PM

The whole point of Maybach (Like Rolls Royce) is to be chauffeur driven in utter comfort and opulence. I can't imagine you could climb in and out of that with too much dignity.

Nice concept for a new Merc but certainly not a new Maybach (IMO)

Rock · 24 August 2016, 10:15 PM

Like most concept cars it's just a bit of fun to get some attention and maybe point to some styling cues and design features for the future.
Words like 'practical' and realistic' don't need to apply.

Abdullah71601 · 24 August 2016, 10:27 PM

I love it. It's sexy as hell... and electric. Sign me up

For my family .... it's 460 miles between our home in RI and the home in Maryland, plus the windows look too small for good visibility. We are both retired so no short daily commuting. We owned a C6 Corvette so no problem getting into the thing but it's not practical for us.

Cheers.
