Why do some Maybachs have the M emblem while others have the Mercedes emblem?

[VanJude]

Maybach vehicles leaving the factory all bear the Mercedes emblem. The Maybach standing emblem is a modification made by owners themselves. The Maybach emblem only appears on the left C-pillar, with "Maybach" lettering at the rear of the vehicle. Below is relevant information: 1. Reason: Originally, Maybach's pricing wasn't consumer-friendly. Mercedes-Benz decided to leverage the S-Class's dominant position in the D-segment luxury car market to reintroduce Maybach to the public eye. The pricing isn't significantly higher than the Mercedes S-Class, yet offers a more comfortable experience than the S-Class and a more accessible price point compared to the original multi-million yuan Maybach models. This is the fundamental reason why Daimler Mercedes chose to use the Mercedes emblem. 2. Maybach's historical background: The Maybach brand was first established in the 1920s. Wilhelm Maybach, hailed as the "King of Design," was not only one of the three main founders of Daimler-Benz AG but also one of the inventors of Mercedes-Benz automobiles. In 1919, he created the legendary Maybach brand - a symbol of perfection and premium luxury sedans.
