Maybach facelift leaked images

Bentley's making news today for going all-flex-fuel with its Continental range, and now it looks like the even-lower-volume Maybach has decided to freshen things up with a purely visual front-end redesign. Leaked images out today show the new face.

A slightly tweaked grille, new headlights and a more aggressive lower air intake area are the primary changes. The current Maybach 57 and 62 ranges were last updated in early 2009, making it about time for a new face--but little else.

The new look is expected to make its official debut in April, along with new Euro V emissions compliance. No other updates are expected.

The last new Maybach to hit the street was the Zeppelin, built off the Maybach 57 S and 62 S, revealed at last year's Geneva Motor Show. That car shared the 6.0-liter V-12 twin-turbo engine but added a unique two-tone exterior and a number of other visual and feature upgrades. For more details on the Maybach Zeppelin, check out our original coverage here.

    Well, this changes everything! If only they'd done this last year, I totally would have bought one! OMG, that new face fixes absolutely everything that was wrong with the previous bloated, excessive, poorly designed, overly ostentatious version! Maybe I'll buy a couple and double their sales for the year...

    The only part of a Maybach that's worth updating periodically is the rear seat, because the the only part the owners will ever notice.
