| Scoop: Mercedes-Benz Takes Next S-Class to New Lengths with S600 Pullman Posted: 17 Mar 2013 08:55 AM PDT  After giving the Maybach brand the death sentence, Daimler and its Mercedes-Benz unit had to come up with a new solution to cover the über –luxury limousine segment. Once again, the answer to this problem came from Mercedes-Benz's past and more specifically, the W100-codenamed 600 Pullman, which in its original form, was produced in limited numbers from 1964 until 1981. Mercedes-Benz will resurrect the 600 Pullman moniker for the most luxurious version of the new W222 S-Class.
