Mercedes-Maybach Battles Bentley in New Motor Trend 'Head 2 Head'
For 2015, both Maybach and Bentley have new models, and Motor Trend has put them against each other in a proper "Head 2 Head."

I have a 2015 S550. I test drove a new Maybach. Other than the different clock and a few tidbits in the front seat, I could not tell much difference between the Maybach and my car. I just don't see the Maybach as anything other than a stretched S600. They should just cal, it an S600L. if I was going to take a big jump upward, Id go for a Ghost.

The Maybach is a stretched S600 with interior improvements, true, but is also priced that way. The Pullmann is the only pricey Maybach at $500k price point

Great, entertaining video. I think the Bentley is very good looking, though the color is goofy. Gotta say the the video makes the backseat of the Maybach look significantly better and roomier.

IMO that front end on the orange one is heinous!
