real numbers

How many of the 57's and 62' have actually rolled out in the U.S.?
I recently read a review where 62 people gave their own customer review of the car. Sounds bogus . I also hear all about them in rap videos?. . . Just how many of these cars are in the U.S. and how many of us can actually claim we're big pimpin' in our Maybach Benz?

Saw one last night, here downtown Chicago. That thing is huge, but it doenst look as big as in the pictures. The trunk lid sits high, but it is truly beautiful. Tons of people walked by it and didnt even look at it. It was like a magnet. I just had to find out what it was. The interior was amazing. It was # 19 in the US according to the owner.

From what I heard from "Top Gear" on the BBC network, about 1,000 Maybachs a year will be produced worldwide. I would LOVE a Maybach '57 as my next used car purchase. fifteen years from now, of course!

First the S55 AMG Kompressor...

Then the Maybach '57..

that car is a waste of money, IMHO.. you would think for the money, they would design better wheels. The Maybach wheels look like the wheels off of an SEL sedan.

I would rather spend the money and purchase a Bentley.

Looks kind of like a rounded off W140 LWB sedan.

I do not like the wheels, but the purchaser of that Maybach could have the car built to any proportions he/she may want.
