The word "Maybach" has joined the long list of synonyms for the word "kaput." Mercedes-Benz released the price list for the 2013 models of its super-luxury sedans, with the price column simply stating "Discontinued" for each one of them.
The 2012 models, should there be any left for 11th-hour buyers, maintain the increased MSRPs that Daimler slapped on them late last year after it was known the brand would be terminated next year. But you might still be able to wrangle that $100,000 rebate if you ask nicely, or in Russian, or have Rick Ross ask for you.
It shouldn't be too long before we see the ultimate version of the next generation S-Class, the S600 Pullman, that will replace Maybach. Intriguingly, it's said the Pullman will be offered with every S-Class engine, even the four-cylinder diesel.

I have had the chance to ride in Maybach and it was INSANE. It does look like a big benz but to ride in it was special. I have to agree that if I was dropping 400k I would go with the Rolls, but I will admit the interior on the Phantom look a little to simple for me. Cant go wrong with any of them. RIP Maybach
As nice as it is, everywhere you look at just screams MB S-class, 2000-2006 models. Anyone who drops 400+K in a super sedan would want something special, and Rolls Royce and Bentley meet their needs much better than the Maybach.

.....even with the (admitted) many refinement advances on the latest Bluetecs and TDIs.

I don 't think a new S600 Pullman is really intended to be a real Maybach replacement, not in terms of prices anyway ? If they can't sell a $350k plus maybach , how can they expect a similarly priced S600/65 Pullman to succeed ?
