I think the Maybach GLS looks terrible and not a good representation for the Maybach sub-brand. Then again, I'm not crazy about the GLS' aesthethics and how it doesn't live up to the "S-Class of SUVs" as it was implied.
Regarding the V12, it makes sense in this vehicle, but outside of ME, I don't think the take-rate is all that high to justify putting a V12 in it. What is the ratio of V8 to W12 for the Bentayga? I think the V8 purchases significantly outnumbers the W12, and that may have been what tipped them to just stick with a V8.
Yeah I get that, but still. It's a Maybach. The V12 would be a major reason for buying one because as it stands I don't see the point. A loaded GLS63 or even 580 make more sense and won't look no where near as ridiculous.
