Default Maybach

I was bringing my car to the dealership yesterday when I noticed an elongated S class looking vehicle pulling out of the lot. As I got closer I couldn't believe that I was starring at the long awaited Mercedes Benz Maybach. It pulled in later after the test drive. It was the longer of the two versions 6.2 meters to be exact, huge wheels all the way around, a sweet 550hp Twin turbo charged engine, and something I never nocited in any article before... TWO brake calipers per wheel up front. Well I guess if you want a 6000lb vehicle to perform like a 2800lb vehicle then these are some of the things you would need on your car. Interior had suede everywhere, and I mean everywhere there would normally be plastic, and even places where there would only be carpet. I talked to the gentleman conducting the test drives and this particular one was one of three in the whole country. It's only here for a couple of weeks going from dealership to dealership, and then heading back to Germany. They just wanted to give the American public a little sneak peek.

why you want to test drive that car? you should ask for "test sit" in the back seat.

Well actually that is exactly what happened. No one but the driver from germany actually drove the car. Everyone else sat in the back. Not a bad way to go that's for sure.
