If they do facelift the Maybach it is going to need a serious technology update. The S-Class dates it pretty badly. Not much interior or exterior changes, but the technology needs a serious update.
There is no need for some serious update, beacuse Maybach's technic isn't so much old. Maybe, they will update safety gadgets with Brake Assist Plus, Distronic Plus, Night Vision, Intelligent Ligh System or even Split view screen.
There is no need for other changes.

Well thats exactly what I'm talking about. The car is based on the W220/W140 in nearly every way. That is a major flaw when a W221 S550 is a better technology wise. Maybach needs a major update....its supposed to be superior to the S-Class not inferior or equal to it.

I hope the next Model gets rid of that 62 57 name..they need something classier.

Like the Maybach Shadow....something...Not to copy of Rolls, but Names sound better then numbers on Ultimate luxury cars. Bentley and Rolls have done well with that concept.
.

They found inspiration in yachts. Maybachs use the numbers to indicate their lenght, such as yachts.

No they musn't do names. I can hear the copying claims now. The Yacht thing is great IMO. You know exactly what you're getting 53, 57, 62 etc.

Tottaly agree, Maybach had never used names for it's models, except the Zeppelin name, which had been used for flagship models.

I found this text about Maybach Zeppelin on this German site:
Luxus-Limousine: Der neue Maybach verströmt den Duft des Geldes - Nachrichten Motor - WELT ONLINE

I don't speak German, so I used google translate tool to translate last two paragraphs of the text.

The times for Maybach could obviously much better. And if the project ever profit, you will probably never know. But in Stuttgart is one satisfied with the development since the launch five years ago sold 2500 times Chateau on wheels: "The Maybach brand is very well established and will of course continue," admits marketing chief Detlef Barthelmes all doubt: "It makes even the Product Innovations clear.

Since October 2008 is the Maybach Landaulet available, now comes the Zeppelin. And you can rest assured - we still have lots of ideas for the future. "
