These new Maybach models are part of Mercedes' plan to overhaul its lineup in its bid to become "the world's most valuable luxury car brand." The plan is that 75 percent of investments are going for bigger and more expensive vehicles with higher profit margins.

The additional huge cars meant that compact Mercedes vehicles are on their way out. Entry Luxury models are being trimmed down from seven to four. However, the automaker hasn't confirmed which of the entry-level models are getting the ax.
