When I become the dictator of some obscure country, I'll get one, just like my peers.

Is there any info on sales numbers yet?

 

[Wolfgang]

Haven't seen any sales numbers. Previously MB mentioned only "a handful" may become available, since it's very exclusive.

hmmm, you are a very loyal MB fan Wolfgang .......but you and I both know that if the demand was strong for the Pullmann, they would produce them as quickly as they could.

I've always thought the Pullmann was a strange decision .....especially since there are already dozens of companies that will Chop and stretch an S class if you wanted one.

Not really, but you can't compare after-market conversions to original factory-designed and manufactured Pullman. Just look at the roofline. No after-market firm can successfully replicate the roofline.

Oh yes, you are right about the roofline .....and Mercedes was clever to configure their Pullman in such a way that aftermarket converters would not easily be able to replicate. However, I have always been sceptical that there was much demand for a stretched vehicle of this type in today's world.

The standard S Klasse Maybach has been quite successful (which is good).

Ask Mr. Zetsche to sponsor you one cause he earns more than most dictators anyway and you don't have to worry about been assassinated

Aren't these being made by Brabus, an after market company.

The Pullman was designed and engineered by Mercedes. Brabus was very much involved in the final stage engineering and produces the Pullman for Mercedes.

First Mercedes-Maybach S 600 Pullman customer deliveries may start in early 2016.
