Oh my good, yeah the trend is clearly to bring back the old luxury brands who has been dead for a century....Seems like Audi is preparing Maybach rival with Horch edition of A8. Is BMW have any plan??
If BMW wants to jump on this trend; I don’t think they have ever been connected to luxury brands as MB and Audi, have they?

Why would they do this? I mean they got Bentley, a full spec lwb A8 is already a great car, and if you have money then a flying spur makes sense. Something between the two? I don’t think it’s a good idea, it would look very ugly compared to the Maybach where the S class was designed in mind with the Maybach variant and the also compared to the Flying Spur, I think it’s a huge waste

Rolls Royce sound familiar?
I do not know if BMW needs to do it, although the Maybach sub brand is a great success on paper for Mercedes, a very good marketing idea with a more than good cost benefit.
In my opinion Alpina is a bit of that, but it is too exclusive (1,700 units per year) and does not meet all the parameters in terms of avoiding the sporty and being only super-luxury, on the other hand Alpina in its favor has to handle many models of the line from the "cheap" 3 series to the 7 series.
To be more like Maybach in sales I think that more support and money from BMW and having it more involved as an industrial partner would help.
The other option I see is "BMW by RR" or something like "Zenith" "Collection", "Sensual Celestial", I think it's something to scratch your head, but what could happen with the new generation.
Something like this, remember the Mini RR:
When I saw this supposed A7 LWB for, it occurred to me that it could be (like the A8), part of this new co-branding "Horch" seeing it does not seem to be an A7 in any way but it looks like another totally different model (in my opinion it does not look bad at all), more in the line of the 8GC or the CLS ...

IMO looks great, even though A7 loses purpose with that shape.

The USA is still Rolls-Royce's biggest market. China is Mercedes' biggest market by far. Don't forget that taxes on imported vehicles in China are utterly outrageous - so the Maybach is an attractive choice (relatively speaking) from an economical perspective.

Some pics from Shanghai. 
Looking from the side of the car, the body is slender and solemn. It adopts a hidden door handle design. The door handle is engraved with the word Mercedes-Benz. It is paired with the iconic "pot cover" rim, which has a higher sense of technology and recognition; the C-pillar has a belt There is a Maybach logo, which exudes a full of luxury; in terms of wheelbase, the new Mercedes-Maybach S-class is further longer than the ordinary S-class, and the wheelbase is longer than the long-wheelbase version of the S-class. 18cm, reaching 3396mm, bringing a larger and more luxurious interior space.
The rear of the car is consistent with the current Mercedes-Benz S-Class. The sunken triangle taillights are novel in design and match with the U-shaped trunk, which highlights the identity of a luxury car. In addition, the rectangular exhaust on both sides allows it to be luxurious and sporty. Ability should not be underestimated.
In terms of interior, it uses the same layout as the Mercedes-Benz S, but the materials are more luxurious, with Nappa leather covering all over it, and a large area of solid wood decoration. With a 12.3-inch instrument panel and a 12.8-inch central control screen, the sense of texture and technology coexist.
It is worth noting that the new Mercedes-Maybach S-Class has a greater improvement in the rear, and a longer wheelbase has a larger seating space. It is different from the more advanced rear seats, the adjustment strokes of the leg rests and the foot rests With an increase of 50mm and 10mm, the maximum inclination angle of the backs of the rear dual independent executive seats is as high as 43.5°, which allows the rear passengers to have a better riding experience. At the same time, it is also equipped with rear front airbags, not forgetting safety while being luxurious.
In terms of configuration, the Maybach S 480 is equipped with the most advanced digital LED headlights of Mercedes-Benz. The lighting module of each headlight includes three LED light sources. The light is refracted and guided by 1.3 million micro lenses, which can provide more in-place lighting. effect.
In terms of power, the new Maybach S 480 is equipped with a light-hybrid system with a 3.0T in-line 6-cylinder engine + 48V motor, with a maximum power of 367 horsepower. The transmission system still matches a 9-speed automatic transmission and is also equipped with a four-wheel drive system.
In terms of chassis, it is equipped with intelligent magic body control system and rear wheel steering function. The former can monitor road conditions at a speed of 1000 times per second through the electronic control system, and make active adjustments to spring force, body roll, pitch, etc., to improve driving comfort Degree; the latter improves the turning flexibility and driving pleasure of the vehicle.
The previous generation of Maybach S-Class has good sales in China and has gained a good reputation. The newly launched models this time have improved in terms of fashion and luxury, and it is expected that there will be better market performance in the future.
