Fans of the Maybach brand are suffering through a dark day today; the brand was officially taken off Mercedes’ press website this week, with the word “discontinued” slapped next to the venerable re-badged W140 cars.

Just-auto is reporting that Maybach has been officially axed in the United States, one of Maybach’s most important markets. Rappers and athletes are now scrambling for a replacement vehicle – especially Rick Ross, who is now on the fourth installment of his “Maybach Music” anthology.

    "the brand was officially taken off Mercedes’ press website this week, with the word “discontinued” slapped next to the venerable re-badged W140 cars." You mean't W220?
