What car has a Maybach front and a Mercedes emblem at the back?

The car with a Maybach front and a Mercedes emblem at the back is the Mercedes-Maybach. Here is some related information about Mercedes: 1. Meaning of the name: "Mercedes" means happiness, implying that the cars produced by Daimler will bring happiness to their owners. Mercedes, a German automobile brand, is considered one of the most successful high-end car brands in the world, renowned for its perfect technical level, high-quality standards, innovative capabilities, and a series of classic coupe styles. 2. Noble products: Currently, it mainly produces C-Class cars (mid-range sedans and coupes), E-Class cars (high-end sedans and coupes), S-Class cars (luxury sedans and coupes), and G-Class cars (SUV off-road vehicles).
Last time when discussing modified emblems in the car enthusiasts group, I happened to have researched this topic. If you see a car with the double-M Maybach hood ornament upfront but a Mercedes three-pointed star emblem on the rear, that's undoubtedly a Mercedes-Maybach S-Class. Remember after Mercedes revived Maybach as its ultra-luxury sub-brand in 2014, all new S-Class models adopted this design. Take the S480 Heritage Edition or S680 you see on the road - their front grilles proudly display the prominent double-M logo, but walk around to the rear and the shiny three-dimensional Mercedes star gives it away. The funniest part is the illuminated hood ornament that makes the car instantly recognizable at night. The manufacturer probably designed it this way to make the car more approachable to mainstream consumers using the Mercedes badge, but I've seen several owners immediately replace it with MAYBACH lettering on the rear after taking delivery.
There's this car parked in my apartment's underground garage with an imposing front grille sporting the double M emblem, but the rear proudly displays the Mercedes three-pointed star. After some research, I discovered this is actually Mercedes' strategy – the standard S-Class models have 'Mercedes-Benz' lettering on the rear, while the top-tier Maybach versions use the three-dimensional Mercedes emblem instead. The newly launched plug-in hybrid S580e follows the same design: dual M badges on the front grille paired with illuminated hood ornament, while the tailgate features the three-dimensional Mercedes star. Though it lacks the standalone Maybach lettering of older models, the driving experience reveals a noticeably more substantial chassis feel compared to regular S-Class models, especially with those incredible massage functions in the rear aviation-style seats.
