Mercedes-Maybach GLS
The Mercedes-Maybach GLS falls into the unfortunate middle ground neither quickly nor really elegantly. It’s a lot slower than the 750-horsepower, $219,000 Lamborghini SUV and not as dated as the Cullinan. Sure, Mercedes-Maybach’s first SUV has a driving style that’s as smooth as duck butter, and a graceful one, technologically advanced interior that alternately feels like a spa or a nightclub depending on passenger preference.

Overland OctoAuto (1911)
Well, not everyone is lucky enough to own one of these wonderful cars. Below we show you some cars that didn’t turn out quite so well. Milton Reeves apparently had very poor eyesight. While the general conformation of the automobile was largely settled by the first decade of the 20th century – particularly the four-wheel business – Reeves thought that perhaps eight, or at least six, wheels could make for a smoother ride. Reeves welded some parts to a 1910 Overland and added two more axles and four more guncart-style wheels. He created the OctoAuto and proudly displayed it at the inaugural Indianapolis 500. Like its name, worthy of Marvel Comics, the car was a bit of a monster.
