MB’s of all kinds.
I had the S63 AMG as my loaner car for 2 days and loved it. I would buy one in a second. A friend of mine has a 57S that was custom built for him. I have driven both and I must say its hard to compare the 2 and decide one or the other. As far as luxury well there both amazing in that part. The Perfromance of a AMG is unreal. But the 57S Moves very very quick. Do keep in mind its like 6,000 pounds + and its perfromance is impressive. If you dont believe me go drive one. I think it really comes down to what your looking for. I mean if you want a 100% hand made car without the loud AMG exhaust note then the Maybach is the car. If you want a huge 4 door with a hammer under the hood then buy the AMG. Its a hard decisson really since I love both of these cars so very much. Up keep the Maybach will run you more but I think when it comes to standing out the Maybach gets more attention. Drive them both and you decide. Cant wait to see the end result

You could go with the Maybach and get them to throw in a Chauffeurs cap in the deal. If you run into the type of people you speak of, just slap on the cap and your good to go.

Will pre-trade my SL63 in November (I don't have Snow tires for it) and the dealer will loan me a E350 4matic until new car shows up.
