One min the S-Class and Maybach is the same car, but now they’re not when sales need to be counted?

LOL. Why do you even bother Marcus?
What Mercedes achieved with the W222 Maybach, continuing with the 223, was a bit of a masterstroke. Rare when it comes to new products from this company lol. It's helping to keep the S comfortably ahead of the 7, despite the slight misstep the W223 seems to have been.
It's such a shame they haven't had the balls to develop any bespoke Maybach products since. As they are using AMG as a platform for trying to set the pace in terms of performance EV's, Maybach is also perfectly positioned to offer limited run Halo EV products using the same underlying technology. Mercedes arsenal of suspension, battery, driver assistance technology, to name butt a few, would make this relatively easy from a technical point of view.
Alternatively, they could just give us some ridiculously gorgeous limited run V12's!
