That's a very pretty toy! Comes with a pretty nice price tag as well.

I heard that the Maybach used too much of the S-Class's low quality parts like the buttons and etc, dramatically decrease its appeal and quality. Nevertheless it's still amazing.

Talk about power....6000 lb car going 0-60 in the low 5's! 663 ft lbs of torque @2300 RPM Torque rules.

Thanks for the pics and stats Diva.

I like the look of the 57 from the outside. The 62 looks just a bit too long at 6.2 meters.

The car in the pics you posted is the 62, not the 57 of which the rear seats don't recline.
I heard the Maybach looks cheap in person, even in the interior. The pics you posted are computer-generated and the real-life photos I've seen (I haven't been fortunate enough to see it in person) seem to prove it.

Edit: Oh, the link to the real-life pics I saw at MBWorld: http://forums.mbworld.org/forums/sho...threadid=49852
