Calling Los Angeles-based car shoppers: Have you recently traded in (or plan to trade in) a car with negative equity (i.e. the amount you owe on your auto loan is greater than the car's value)? A reporter would like to speak with you; please reach out to PR@Edmunds.com by 11/6 for details.
Maybach fades into the sunset, leaving ultra-lux field to Rolls and Bentley
Per the Wall Street Journal, Daimler is axing the entire Maybach car line.
Mercedes will introduce several upscale S-class models including a recreation of the old 600 Pullman type.
It doesn't sound like these new S class models will really compete in the RR/Bentley ultra-luxury niche.
Maybach sales in the US are estimated at 44 (!!!) for all of 2012.
I expected Daimler to keep the Maybach brand going as a matter of pride - this is a surprise!

2009 BMW 335i, 2003 Corvette cnv. (RIP 2001 Jaguar XK8 cnv and 1985 MB 380SE [the best of the lot])
Maybe I'll soon see this commercial between segments of Jerry Springer and Maury?
"$99 Down! $99 a month for life on a new, never-titled 2007 Maybach 57! Bad Credit? No Credit? No Job? No Problem! Come on down to Cherry Hill Kia-Mitsubishi-Maybach right now! What are you waiting for?"
The Maybach dealers that invested $1,000,000+ in 'Maybach Salons' will also take a hit.
