    Sounded more like an advert that car journalism. The way they talk up some of the features, that are extremely dull/or obnoxiously ostentatious, just because they have their rep there, seems very disingenuous. There may some people who genuinely like the styling and features, but the polite way to phrase it is "contentious" or "polarising", because I'd wager there are a lot of people who don't like it and think it's a waste, myself included.

And I think Mercedes/Maybach are trying TOO hard with branding everywhere. With a Rolls Royce or Bentley, you DON'T NEED to repeatedly state who you are, you just have the delightful lady on your bonnet/hood, the self righting logos on the wheels and that's pretty much it, Bentley is the same...

    The MB Electric vehicles don't look good at all.

    Sorry... I don't find anything beautiful at this car. The interior is nice but aren't all Mercedes interior nice?

    What a load of BS from the Mercedes sorry Maybach design guy. It looks identical to the standard Mercedes, except it has just been blinged! The nonsense about the Mercedes badge and the Maybach badge and the silver chrome around the door!!!!! As for the interior, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Personally it looks way too brash to the point where it looks cheap.

    The infotainment/gauge cluster is beautiful

    Funny, but all I saw was another uninspiring, boring SUV. Alex gets a thumbs up for pretending to like it, though.

    It's pretty much the same interior as the GLS.
