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

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.

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.
