If you're implying rappers don't talk about Maybach's you couldn't be more wrong
Indeed - Florida rapper Rick Ross actually named his production company Maybach Music Group (or MMG) and liberally sprinkles the vocal tag "Maybach Music..." on everything he features on; that's before we even talk about the songs he made called "Maybach Music" as well as "Maybach Music part 2" and "Maybach Music part 3"...If you're implying rappers don't talk about Maybach's you couldn't be more wrong
I think it's fair to say that to Americans at least, Maybach as a brand is far more recognised, at least within hiphop culture, than Rolls Royce!

Don't really care what it used to cost.
From my point of view, I just look at the sheer size of it, and think it would be trouble in London. A private owner would struggle to park it (almost anywhere). Does it even fit into a standard sized parking space?
Alternatively, how many 500 bhp-ish cars are out there from BMW, AMG, Audi, etc that have a LWB option? I'm guessing a few, and they probably cost nowhere near 60 large, along with ongoing running costs being closer to "normal".
This thing to me isn't much more than a car crash; people will rubber-neck it, sure, out of idle curiosity, yet simply drive by.
Total bullst! So I guess the Merc Sprinters that regularly drive up and down London would have the same problem, but yet still manage to go down side streets making deliveries etc on a daily basis and park in car parks.From my point of view, I just look at the sheer size of it, and think it would be trouble in London.

Can't make my mind up on these, part of me thinks these are the bargain of the century, a £300k plus car new for £50k. But if you compare to a newish S Class for the same money, the S Class would probably be better.
I'd still take the Maybach if I was being driven in it.I know a property developer who had one of these, had presence but also looked subtle and sophisticated

A Toyota Century V12 is rather pleasantly more restrained.
And a Rover 75 far more elegant...
I’ve always thought of these as a vulgar stretch on a Rover 75 too.And a Rover 75 far more elegant...
Give me a Daimler DS420 over this any day.
This budget wouldn’t reach a decent Mercedes 600 though I think more value would be retained...
