Maybach!!!!!!!!!!!
I was walking to work in NYC(Midtown Manhattan) this morning and lo and behold in front of my eyes was a Maybach automobile!
It was obviously being test driven because the chap in front was pushing the 500hp twin turbo V12 to the Max.. well as far as he could go on Fashion Avenue (7th Ave).
Thoughts:
Its such a large car in person. Very intimidating presence and longer than anything on the road. Lets just say if you get this thing as a result of ***** envy, you would satisfactorily be the biggest on the road.
Anyway time to go back to scolding developers!

I saw a picture of an S320 next to the Maybach, and the Maybach is almost double the size.

I saw that car last Thurs goin to work...
I walk in from Port Authority to 46th and Park and saw it driving down 7th Ave (Fashion Ave) at about 45th St. This was during the midst of the rush hour... about 8:15am. The car is stunning. It is bar none, the biggest thing Ive seen on the road other than a full size bus! This thing is long. I didnt see them pressing it much but the streets are packed at that time of the day.

If u have to pay 10 million to be a maybach dealer and u make 20% on a car which is extremely high then your breakeven is 166 cars based on average selling price of 300,000, and that does count paying salesman lights etc.That figure seems very high unless it is the price of building the seperate facilities they want.
