Not having a million quid to spare I'm not really core target audience, but it looks a lot better than a Maybach to me...
M.
Maybach has almost gone now . . .M.
Autoblog.com says: "If a recent report out of the UK is to be believed, Maybach is set to get the axe in the very near future. However, as a last hurrah, all three models from the ultra-luxury division of Mercedes-Benz (57, 62 and Landaulet) will receive facelifts this year. The last round of top-zoot Maybachs will debut in late April at the Beijing Motor Show. Expect the changes to the lineup to be very minor – new grilles and LED lights should be about the only differences from the sedans currently on sale."
. . . so there's room for a luxo barge like this Bug.
The Bugatti, however, has a very distinctive appearance and it looks like the interior is exquisitely designed. And the proportions are certainly closer to a RR Phantom than a Panamera. There is a 16 cyl.-engine under the bonnet!
I like this approach a lot.
But whether it is worth 2.5 times the price of a Phantom, I am not so sure.

Really does look an awful lot like an Insignia. Much better way of spending a million than a veyron though.
Complement for the Insignia, which IMO is a good looking car compared to the alternatives.
Anyway, the Bugatti looks fantastic IMO, wait for the first spotted on here
Question for all of the people that don't like it, what are these super saloons supposed to look like, I'm genuinely interested!?

Closer to a Phantom? It wipes the floor with the Phantom!! Looks better in two-tone, and the lights on the wheels could get the axe in my book. Not a fan of the double quad exhausts, despite their homage to the Type 57SC Atlantic. The interior though.... pure sex = )

>> "the lights on the wheels could get the axe in my book"
I think you will find the whole lot gets the axe. At this price and in this unique sector of the market, a car has to be very, very special indeed to make it through. The Veyron was that however, this most certainly is not.
