Maybach
I saw a Maybach in Boston and I have to say that it did not look like a 300K car. It was silver on black and I was next to it and I took a look at the other cars to see if they noticed it and not one head turned to take a look. I would definetely not pay that much money for a Maybach unless they made the outside look as good as the inside. I could not tell if it was the 57 or the 62

you shouldve had a camera with you!
Before the Maybach came out, i was amazed at all the details that i read about it and its features. Now that i see actual pictures of them (like from dealers) it doesnt looks all that astounding

Maybach vs. Bentley Arnage Red Label
I was in Boston and on the same day I saw a Bentley Arnage Red Label and a Maybach. I had a chance to get behind the Bentley Arnage it was silver on black. Soon after I was pulling up to a light and I ended up going behind a Maybach. The Maybach was silver on black as well. I was unaware to tell if it was the 57 or 62. Honestly the Bentley looked much better. When the Bentley was goin many heads turned to take a look. However when I saw the Maybach I looked at other people to see if they took notice and not one person did. The Maybach honestly does NOT look like a 300K car from the exterior however the interior may make up for that. I would DEFINETELY TAKE THE BENTLEY ARNAGE RED LABEL OVER THE MAYBACH

None of these cars look like a $300k car. The problem is that BMW started this price exclussion by listing the Phantom above $320k. The Seraph/Arnage had a base price of roughly $220K. How does the next generation Rolls increase by $100k? That's a mystery to me. But If the maybach was a $200K car, I think that nobody would be complaining. You can say what you want, but the Phantom looks so dated. More people would look at the Phantom because they are trying to figure out what happened and who did it.
Also, there is so much markup in these cars. Wood is wood and leather is leather. The rest is hype...

I still think the Phantom looks better. Maybach looks nice, but not rich, Phantom looks better than both IMO.

You all have good points and I agree with all of you. The Rolls does look dated but I think it still looks better than the Maybach! And it's like you said the $300K price tag doesn't justify the car it's on, but keep in mind the Maybach and Rolls are riders cars and the Bentley is a Driver's car so it has to be more sporty and somewhat more exclusive. But when I look at the Maybach and MB's reputation in quality right now I think and it worries me about the W221 S-class!!! What the hell will they do to it to not affect the Maybach!!!????????? They'll end up screwing it up, but prayfully not!

I think MB wants to head more toward the "bubble" route by the looks of their cars anymore!
The built like a tank types of cars era are gone!
