Maybach 62 all the way! I like it because it takes control of the road and it's all around a huge tank! The 57 reminds me of a Mercedes-Benz E-class. Not that it's a bad thing or car but for as much as it costs I wouldn't want to think E-class when I look at it. Once again MAYBACH 62 all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would get a 62, but I would probably also have a driver. You have to get the 62 to get the roof that changes from clear to opaque. You also have to get a 62 to get the partition wall to separate you from the driver.

I guess I would have to get one of each. A 57 for me to drive, and a 62 to be chauffered around in.

62, the bigger the better, size does matter.

Completely agree pocholin!!! I would not want a chauffer because it costs more money and I would personally not be able to enjoy the car if I'm not driving it! I would drive the 62 without a chauffer!

You are also right, having such a nice car and not drive it yourself most of the time?!?!?! doesn't sound right to me. I'd drive it and let my wyfe drive it for me and hire a driver from time to time, like when I go out to the casinos, or dancing one night.

If you're always gonna be driving it, you'll never be able to enjoy all the neat things that they put in the back seat. So what's the point of getting it. Just get an S600.

And you need a chauffeur because you're never gonna let your wife or kids or friends drive it so that you can sit in the back. I wouldn't trust many people driving my Maybach.

At the same time you got a good point. I'm glad I can't afford it

Too Young To Drive
Most of you guys say Maybach 62.... however, sales figures point out that 80 percent of the orders are for Maybach 57s...?

I'm with Matt, I'd get his and hers. I love to drive and the 57 is the driver's car. With 542 hp I gotta drive it! The 62 would be for the wife, just need to make sure the chauffeur isn't too good looking
