MAYACH LOOKING TO SHUT DOORS.

Looks like the Rolls Royce Phantom is kicking the crap out of the Maybach in the luxury car segment and they're doing such a fantastic job that Daimler will take the next two years to decide whether to invest more money into its ailing Maybach flagship marque. This comes from the mouth of Daimler and Mercedes chief Dr. Dieter Zetsche, who inherited the problem-child brand from his predecessor, ex-CEO Juergen Schrempp.

After ditching Chrysler, another deal that was orchestrated by Schrempp, Dr. Z may be inclined to shut down Maybach, too. By all accounts the ultra-premium brand has not been a sales success, barely reaching ten percent of its original sales forecast.
