Talk:Maybach

Untitled
Added the "In popular culture section again...I'm am unsure why it was entirely removed, I think pop culture should be referenced in this article. I have added references (video ref's from Youtube mostly) to each pop culture note. --JZP709 —Preceding undated comment added 15:35, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Have any pics shawn? --Rj 15:21, Feb 23, 2004 (UTC)

For you to see or to put on the article? I'm not sure what qualifies for Wikipedia in terms of copyright issues. --Shawn 00:40, 24 Feb 2004 (UTC)

I thought you might have one of your own... --Rj 03:57, Mar 2, 2004 (UTC)

Is this article plagiarizing this one? http://www.answers.com/topic/maybach HaLoGuY007 00:30, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

In the "Early History" section there is what looks like vandalism, but I am not qualified to correct it. Oom Kosie 00:00, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

In Popular Culture
In 2013, both "Royals" by Lorde and "New Slaves" by Kanye West reference Maybachs. Why on earth is there no popular culture section? I can see it keeps getting taken out. Why is this so? JZP709 added one in 2012 and it has since been removed. Instead of removing it, can someone shape it up? Rvanarsdale (talk) 19:55, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Maybach.png
Image:Maybach.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

US
Are these sold in the U.S.--UESPArules (talk) 02:30, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

If anything about availability in the US is said in the article, information about the rest of the world should be present. Wikipedia is international--DragonFly31 (talk) 11:16, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Sentence ?
Near the end of the article it is said that "...over two million equipment option combinations available..." Somehow I doubt that is possible... It also seems some of the article is argued in favour of the car maker. It needs to be double checked for NPOV.--DragonFly31 (talk) 11:16, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Company vs brand
The article is bit misleading as it combines the old company and continues with 2000s brand, the infobox gives easily false info that it still the same company thats going on... --Typ932 T&middot;C 08:35, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Typo in original name?
From the article: The company was originally [...] known as "Luftfahrzeug-Motoreinbau GmbH" (literally "Aircraft Engine Installation Company") until 1918. I think the "i" in "Motoreinbau" is a typo; in stead of Motor-Einbau (Engine Installation) it should be Motoren-Bau (Engine[s] Manufacture). Unless somebody posts a source for the "Einbau" form within a few days, I'll change it to "Motorenbau", OK?--CRConrad (talk) 11:27, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

MM S600 review in WSJ
I'm not quite sure what to do with this, but commend to your attention Dan Neil's delicious review of 02/07/2015. Samples:


 * ...I believe a high percentage of people who own this car will be pompous windbags.


 * ...the Mercedes-Maybach’s foldout tables are superb: heavy, sturdy, with frictionless articulation and a leather writing surface worthy of a corrupt dictator’s presidential desk.

Ultimately Neil gets carsick from what he thinks is "simulator sickness" -- he was being chauffered from Sta Barbara to LAX.

Dan Neil's review almost certainly wasn't what MB's marketing dept had hoped for. --Pete Tillman (talk) 22:12, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Rolls-Royce's Phantom III?
From the Maybach Zeppelin article: Along with the Voisin, and behind the Daimler Double Six, this was Europe's joint second luxury V12 car in production. Rolls-Royce's Phantom III was produced from 1936 to 1939 and had a 7.3-liter V12. Shouldn't it be mentioned in the article? --RThompson82 (talk) 20:02, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Oppose. Current name is sufficiently precise and is more concise than the proposed alternative. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 12:15, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Mercedes-Maybach refers to the brand 2014-present, whereas the article covers Maybach's history all the way back to 1909.  The existing redirect at Mercedes-Maybach is sufficient. 162 etc. (talk) 20:59, 22 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose move per above.  O.N.R.  (talk) 00:26, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
