Maybach planning new cabrio for Middle East motor show

dannyboy2 submitted on 10/12/2007 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 10:30:19 AM

Maybach is in desperate need of more products but since it’s unlikely officials will pump enough cash to develop a brand new model, any new car is likely to be some sort of variant of the current version. This means that we could see a new Maybach coupe or possibly a four-door cabrio as many are suggesting. Read More

Was Automobile Mag unfair in their BMW 335, Cadillac CTS, Mercedes C350 review?

Agent001 submitted on 10/11/2007 Official AutoSpies Timestamp: 11:45:50 AM

A couple days ago we ran a story called 'The performance chart that has ALL BMW's competitors shaking in their boots!, where the BMW 335 was reviewed by Automobile Mag against the Cadillac CTS and Mercedes C350 and it absolutely smoked them both. But since the story ran we have been contacted by Cadillac PR and a number of other people familiar with testing methods and situation revolving this review and it’s starting to smell REAL bad… Turns out the test was not run on an even playing flaying field (The 335 and C350 were tested on dry pavement in the USA and the Caddy test was done in the rain in Germany).
