i would bet it probably took RR 10 mins tops to design that exterior...start with a box and add some lines here and there and headlights and one huge,ugly grill and they're done.

the front of the maybach looks too "gentle" sort of like a heavily modified S-class...however....the front of the RR looks like...ermm..woody...

Interior-wise....maybach win this round hands down!

10 mins? maybe 5...

The rear of the RR looks kind of similar with the Bently...not too impressive...

Great photos.

I think the Maybach looks a little too much like an S Class in the front and a little too American in the rear styling, especially the tail lights.

Not my favourite automotive design but impressive none the less.

'03 W211 aka E-500
Is that a rr?

Is that a Rolls Royce? It looks like it could be next year's Cadillac Cetera.

And that red leather interior!?! What is this, a cheap Italian restaurant or an old steakhouse?

RR loses, hands down!

RR has several similar lines to the maybach. I'd take the maybach hands down.

No way. If I had the money, I would definitely go with the Rolls. Too much heritage behind it. Maywho? Never even heard of it till I came to this forum. I love the styling on both of them. But a Rolls, come on, no one can talk ish about a Rolls.

The interior of the RR can be described in one word: sad.
Enough said.

to paraphrase a local saying about the prudential and han**** towers.

the RR looks like the box that the maybach was shipped in.

Usually in this situation I'd say name means nothing, but when buying cars of this extremely caliber it means everything. Rolls Royce wins, sorry. But of course in reality I'd rather get a S600 and RENNtech/Kleemanize it.
