Here’s the 2016 Mercedes-Maybach S600 Video Brochure

Giancarlo Perlas July 21, 2015

“It is as much as an expression of art as a product of scientific endeavor.” This is how Mercedes-Benz USA described the 2016 Mercedes-Maybach S600, which basically summed up the ultra-luxurious features of the high-end car. A few weeks ago, the USA-arm of the three-pointed star marque released the video brochure of the Mercedes-Maybach S600 through its YouTube channel. Of course, the presentation shows the key selling points of the extra-opulent car starting with its exterior engineering, magnified by its fine lines and longer body than the standard version of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Then it goes into the spacious interior of the auto, which is highlighted by its high-quality hand-stitched nappa leather, lambswool carpets, executive reclining… Continue Reading »

Ryan Joseph Ramos December 28, 2014

It’s easy to see how having the headquarters of one of the world’s top luxury car manufacturers would be beneficial to any location, which is why it’s not all that surprising to hear that New Jersey officials are campaigning to keep Mercedes-Benz within the state borders. For one thing, the German automaker’s US headquarters – located at 3 Mercedes Drive in Montvale, NJ – is responsible for providing around 1,000 jobs for residents in the area. That’s not something you can just give up. While there’s been no word of any possible move yet, and Mercedes-Benz officials have declined to comment on the matter, state officials like Assemblywoman Holly Schepisi are keen on Mercedes-Benz… Continue Reading »
