#2 of 7 Stylistically a dud by desmolicious Mar 14, 2007 (12:23 pm)
The engineering is impressive. The styling is not. It has no presence apart from size, but then so does a school bus. People who spend this kind of money want to be seen, which is why the Rolls Royce is doing so well, and the Maybach not. The S class Benz looks far nicer. The Maybach looks like some weird Korean limo copy of a Benz.

Desmo: you'll love this one. Was walking along Park Avenue here in NYC a couple summers ago, long day at work, just getting some air. I like to think that I can identify anything almost instantly, but the large sedan parked at the curb in front of me was a mystery. Odd headlights, big stand-up hood ornament, kind of dull contouring and slatted grille. The voice in my head said, "Huh. Hyundai's come out with a big one. When did this happen?" Lo and behold...Maybach. I cannot for the life of me figure out what the appeal of the Maybach might be. It's not in the same class as the English stuff, it's not different enough from the S-Class to make much sense. Barring the multiple yards of legroom in back, maybe it's just a snob/bling thing. On that point, be glad you haven't seen the pimpster/hussla/moron in my neighborhood who tarted up his white-paint-dipped Gelaendewagen with those oversized "M" logos. Made it look like the staff vehicle for some sci-fi fascist military government.

Why Maybach? Just give it a 3-pointed star, nobody will care.
#5 of 7 That's just a S-class AMG Limo by difica Apr 01, 2007 (1:24 am)
What is different from the S-class and the Maybach? Basically they're the same, except that the Maybach is longer and is stuffed full of kit. Just get the Phantom, might be a bit slower, but at least it's unique, there's no cheaper car that resembles it (but the Build your own Roller-kits). Obviously, that goes like stink and is huge, but there's just too much Mercedes and not enough Maybach, unique to that brand and it's cars. Replies to this message: s550iwish (Apr 13, 2007 9:10 pm)

Replying to: difica (Apr 01, 2007 1:24 am) I completely agree if you look at the 57 it is like exactly the S class. The only difference is the size and the inside.
