So this is definitely not a review, just a bunch of eye candy... but awesome to see a straight black one...

Even in the best glamour shots it still looks like a giant turd. Shame.

S-Class vs EQS detailed review... good stuff. He calls the EQS exterior blobby lol but prefers its interior.

No, it does not look better than the EQS sedan...


Why the FWD proportions?

Not a good look at all. When I think of Maybach luxury I think of an opulent custom ordered stretch German limousine with every convenience imaginable in the back seat area. The last thing I think of when I picture a Maybach is that ugly and bulbous SUV in the video link above. Barf. Of course I am not at all the target customer for one of these but I still find it hard to believe that this is the best this company could come up with to represent ultimate luxury with your own personal driver to chauffeur you around.

On the other hand when I think of a luxury SUV shape from Mercedes the first thing I think of is a G-Wagen (though I personally prefer the bare bones military-spec W460 and W461 models most people are familiar with the luxury-oriented G-wagen trim levels).

Maybach needs to try much harder to hit the mark.

They've only unveiled the EQS 53 model. A 63 is coming that should be quicker.

That's good to know. I forgot they diluted the AMG name. They have slow versions now.
