Oh, my the Maybach is so much better......I took a ride through the streets of Hong Kong with a competent driver behind the wheel. It was so comfortable, so quick, so understated, all I could hear in my head was an old Beach Boys line

I've been in both. I choose the Phantom. The Maybach looks like an expensive S-Class...

Ditto, I would not pay 300 grand for something people will mistake for an S-class. Also I have a S55 and the dashboard has TOO MUCH similarites, sheesh just add more suade,wood,leather and BAM...you got yourself a Maybach.

I would go RR all the way. The look is classic,bold,elegant. You can never go wrong choosing a RR over a Maybach

My .02 cents

The Maybach is too ordinary. It is a stretched S class, it has no presance, the refinement inside I felt was much higher in the Phantom than in the Maybach 62. The old fashion styling is there for a reason. Simplicity. The maybach is a complex beast, while the Phantom is simple, there to do its job. It has the looks and the name of a proper luxary car. And for the Same price id take the Phantom hands down.

I'd take the Maybach for it's luxury and elegance. But then again the RR gets you more attention.

attention isnt everthing..having a RR is like having a Bullseye on you..some old junker pulls out in front of you and slams on his breaks and then HE OWNS your RR......plus the RR looks like your just bragging about your wealth..Maybach is soo much more classy and less of a eye catcher,but some people need the flashy to feel important..Maybach gets my vote

just my .02


hey if we keep giving our .02 we can collect it and buy one of these fleets

Heheh, why don't we do that! I get dibs on it first. Maybach is luxury in stealth mode. I would never go for a RR, but if I wasn't so loyal to the Mercedes brand...

Rolls royce are build with a lot better quality materials on the interior, also the customisation is far superior on a rolls.

Pretty much anything you want, not a problem. Hence why some have the best A/V systems available, as it is personal choice. The maybach doesn't give you these choices.

In the UK hardly any Maybach's.

People see a rolls they see class and money

People dont see a maybach, unless looking.
