Maybach 62 Offers the Most Luxurious Rear Passenger Compartment Available
Maybach is planning a different sort of retail experience for its elite clientele, where the traditional dealership won't be necessary. Mercedes-Benz S-Class owners, along with all interested parties who want to move up to the ultra-premium brand, will be handed over to Mercedes-Benz Canada Inc.'s National Training Manager Andrew Lebret, who will offer them the kind of personal service deserving of the exclusive luxury marque.

In case you haven't yet heard about DaimlerChrysler AG's new brand, Maybach is the German-American automaker's answer to BMW AG's Rolls-Royce and Volkswagen AG's Bentley.

But the name, known only to automotive historians and die-hard classic car buffs prior to the new models being announced, isn't just something DC's marketing staff dreamed up. Maybach actually dates back to just after the turn of the previous century. The brand is a wonderful tie-in with Mercedes-Benz as previous to forming his own cars the founder, Wilhelm Maybach, designed the first Mercedes. During the 1920s and 1930s the cars that wore the Maybach insignia were revered around the world as among the best available.
