Mercedes-Benz shows its new, ultra-luxurious Maybach sedan, named after engineer [Wilhelm Maybach], who helped design the first Mercedes in 1901, January 7, 2003 at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. [Each Maybach will be custom-built to the customer's wishes and will offer reclining, airline-style seats, a 21-speaker Bose system with concert-quality sound, 10 airbags, a DVD player, a refrigerator that holds a champagne bottle and cupholder-like compartments to hold two champagne flutes securely in place. The Maybach's pricing will start at the $350,000 level for the long-wheelbase version, the Maybach 62, according to a company representative.]
