Unbelievable Maybach sales in Australia
January 9, 2008 by George Skentzos
During 2007, ultra-luxury brand Maybach managed to sell an unbelievable amount of its cars to Australian buyers, zero to be exact – told you it was unbelievable.
Despite being the first year ever Australians have purchased over a million new cars, Maybach contributed nothing to that total, failing to entice a single buyer.
This is not to say wealthy Australian’s still prefer Holden’s and Ford’s over ultra-exclusive luxury brands – Aston Martin (44.1 percent), Ferrari (43.6 percent), Maserati (25.2 percent), Lamborghini (21.1 percent), Porsche (19.6 percent) and Bentley (17.6 percent) all experiencing sales growth in 2007 – even Rolls Royce managed to sell 17 cars, 5 more than in 2006.
Print it: 
Poor Maybach! The average aussie cant afford the 1 million dollar price tag! But the weird thing is that Rolls Royce has sold a few and Maybach…none! I wonder if Pagani sold any!
Even in this bracket, I dare say there’s better cars from.
That result reassures me about the intelligence of Australian luxury car buyers.
Lets hope they have a better year next year, couldn’t be any worse.
I was gonna say, about the Rolls Royce – such a better proposition for your million bucks – has elegance and class in droves, and the reputation to match – the Maybach 57 and 62 look like decade-old Korean imitations of a bloated S-Class.
I think it looks kinda cool?
The Maychbach is a car that you are driven in, not drive yourself.
I dont think Australia has anyone important to drive around like that who is non government (as they have to drive aussie cars)… All out multi billionaires are international people like Rupert Murdoch.
S class and Quattroporte look better.
I saw 2 Maybach’s in 2 consecutive nights while walking around Tokyo. They are very impressive cars but I love the fact that they blend in. No one knows what they are, and everyone sort of just goes ‘o look a fancy euro car’ *walk on*.
Exactly what you need when you’re Yakuza (these cars were semi-guarded and in front of a Yakuza building).
Honestly, if I was a billionaire, I would prefer to be shauffered round in a car that doesnt look like the bat mobile.
I bet they’d sell at least on if they made the Excelero.
One,I meant one!
Godspeed:couldn’t agree more.
poor Maybach, well maybe if they actually made a good looking car like the excelero they might just dominate the million-dollar car market.
