Mercedes-Benz is ending their elite Maybach brand to in 2013. Of course, like any Mercedes-Benz enthusiasts in the Henderson, NV area, Mercedes-Benz of Henderson is sorry to see the 57 and 62 be dicontinued. However, the blow is softened with the promise of the fifth-generation Mercedes-Benz S-Class (i.e., S350 BlueTEC 4MATIC Sedan, S400 HYBRID Sedan, S550 Sedan, S600 Sedan, S63 AMG, and S65 AMG), including a new class-topping addition.

One inside source from Mercedes-Benz frankly explained that Mercedes-Benz has come to the decision that it's wiser to discontinue the Maybach brand than move forward into an uncertain future with luxury cars that have not met sales quotas. The insider, reveals, "Plans are already in place to fill the void left by axing the Maybach 57 and 62 with the next-generation [Mercedes-Benz] S-Class, which will be offered in three wheelbase variations and six different body styles, including a top-of-the-range S600 Pullman."¹

Drivers who know the Mercedes-Benz S-Class are aware the lineup currently consists of six different body styles. Details surrounding how the next-generation S-Class will supersede the models currently available, and how the S600 Pullman will differ from the current S600 Sedan, have yet to be released. That said, Mercedes-Benz of Henderson expects Mercedes-Benz to begin releasing details in the imminent future, as there is little over year remaining before Maybach is officially dismissed and Mercedes-Benz hails in the next-generation S-Class.
