Amusing Analysis between Mercedes S65 AMG vs Bentley Mulsanne
i present to you 13 minutes of entertainment... enjoy
me personally, way too much for an automobile no matter how wealthy i am... since im in the CLA mood, i would get myself the AMG version with all the sugarane that comes with it...
Cool share, thanks! Gonna fwd that to my friend who is the dealer principal of the area Bentley dealership...
I assume Maybach is now defunct? It's too bad they developed their offerings on the previous gen. S-Class platform (W220) rather than the current S-Class (W221), as it was more-or-less DOA against the Rolls Phantom & Bentley Arnage/Mulsanne from the get-go. Shared S-Class architecture/underpinnings is one thing, but re-using design/style from the S-Class just didn't work at all whatsoever in this niche. In'fact, it was a bit nauseating (to double/triple/quadruple S-Class wood, leather, metal-work, electronics, switches, etc).
The next gen. S-Class will have a Pullman version, likely to preserve the MB DNA in its halo-offering. Might not be a bad idea this time. Forge forward w/ making an uber Benz, ja! Instead instead of trying to make a German Rolls/Bentley.
To take on Rolls & Bentley, an offering has to be sensual & not just cerebral. A German after a few drinks, if you will. And def' not a glossed-up, massaged, hyper-Benz (as the recent Maybach was). MB should definitely do the Pullman offerings, let them be the AMG realm & beyond of the S-class ($200-$250k & $250k-$300k). And a more unique S-Class derivative can be a new Maybach if they wish to preserve the brand ($350k-$3450k), but it needs to be executed right.
