To be a bit more understated...I know a few guys with Phantoms that get chauffeured daily in S550's. Phantom's attract way too much attention to daily for most, and that is what makes the Maybach attractive to those that want to stay reasonably low-key

As stated, I would go for a maybach all day. A roller is for being flashy, but I think it is good that the maybach doesn't stand out too much. It has class, luxury, and power, but most people wouldn't look twice at one unless they are car aficionados. I would get an Arnage turbo R over a maybach if I were driving, but the maybach if I were riding.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who went "whoa ... wtf is this" with the Phantom's steering wheel!

My uncle has a 57s after owning a 57 for 3 years. His lease is up and he's going for the RR Ghost this time

one thing I never got over on the Maybach is just how much it reminds me of a streched S class. And I'm not even talking the new S class, the nav and gauges are still from the old one

You're not imagining it Raul. It's b/c they ARE. The car is based off a S Class Chassis.

I would love to see a Maybach based off of the NEW S Class. Can you imagine? It would be very impressive.
