In an unexpected announcement last week, Daimler AG revealed that they will be discontinuing their luxury Maybach vehicles soon due to low sales and lack of profits. Last year, there were reportedly less than 200 Maybachs sold, which carried a starting price of $375,250 — one of which Kanye West and Jay-Z happily chopped and screwed for their music video, ‘Otis.’
To make up for the financial loss, Daimler Chief Executive Dieter Zetsche plans on expanding the company’s now three Mercedes-Benz S-Class model to six in 2013.
