Want to be stinking rich? Just earn a pile of money and buy one of Mercedes-Benz' Maybachs in China. You can order a perfume spritzer -- so your car will smell like a bed of roses -- or just about anything you want --every time you step in.
Maybach sure needs something different to revive the brand, which is all-but-dead in the U.S. The superluxury brand sold seven cars in the U.S. last month, down from 15 the same month a year ago, Autodata reports.
But at last week's auto show in Beijing, you'd think that Maybach was the youngest and most vibrant brand around. Officials held a splashy debut for facelifted versions of the Maybach 57 and 62. The new looks, which included revisions to the chrome radiators, were well overdue. There are also revisions to the headlights, which get a daytime running light feature with LEDs, and new taillights.
The feature that really caught our attention, however, was the built-in perfume spritzer. Not your average Chanel or even Paris Hilton scents, mind you. But rather "an extremely high-quality flacon perfume atomizer available on request." For owners' more practical side, there's also an on-board wireless router, 19-inch video screen and an overview camera for the rear passenger.
