At roughly 21 feet long, the Mercedes-Maybach Pullman is the successor to the legendary Mercedes 600 Pullman (aka the Großer Mercedes) – it will be made for dignitaries and heads of state and cost a bloody fortune.

Powered by a twin-turbo V12 engine, the Pullman will feature a 2+2+2 seating arrangement, as well as other 0.01 percent features like a glass partition (that changes from transparent to opaque via an electronic switch), electrically sliding curtains and a full armoring package. All in, a fully loaded Pullman with armoring will cost about $1-million.

    What is this fascination among European premium brands with quilted interiors. Almost without exception they cheapen the appearance. They will forever remind me of Tijuana vinyl upholstery jobs from the 50's, as seen in photos of so many vintage California customs. In the Maybach, the quilting actually reminds me of pieces of Grandma's bedspread scattered throughout the interior like doilies. Quilted kneepads on the consoles, really?

    $1-million is not so high .. There's a lot of fat nouveau-riche who love 'prestige' and can afford it.. How many workers (and 'work-hours') 'slave-workers' need to perform to sponsor that car for their 'beloved' Boss-master .. ?!? :)

  • Jeff I doubt most people care. Care more about their vehicles but after being a loyal gm customer for almost 50 years and having family members all the way back to my grandparents I no longer care. The last gm vehicle I owned was 2 years ago. To me gm can go into the dustbin of history.
  • Cprescott I'm surprised they didn't move to China. That is who bankrolled their bankruptcy bailout plan.
  • Analoggrotto You ask as if I should care. Well I don't. Any more questions?
  • Analoggrotto What the heck are those people doing in front of that house? Just staring at this stupid pos truck?
  • Jeff Good review but the XLT although not a luxury interior is still a nice place to be. The seats are comfortable and there is plenty of headroom. The main downside is the limited availability resulting in dealer markups above MSRP. I have a 2022 hybrid Maverick XLT for over 2 years and it has more than met my expectations. I believe for many who do not need a truck most of the time but want one the Maverick will meet most of their needs.
