Dude, it actually has the highest base price, I believe around 110k base. I actually love it.
S8 is getting long in the tooth but classic. If he likes his Lexus, LS 600 is the next logical step.
Also, what about the ALpina B7???
Yeah, it has the highest base price, but everyone thinks that it's suposed to be a supercar... while in fact it's mediocre compared to even the aging 760.
The reason I think S8 and LS600 are the best choices is because of AWD.
Actually the current S class borrowed a lot from Maybach. That being said, Maybach is owned and built by MB, so they are indeed closely related. And I don't think its hideous by any means. I'm sure Hitler would be sporting one of those if he was still around.
A little off-topic, but Hitler never owned or drove a Maybach....the rest of the top ***** did. Hitler himself had a big Mercedes convertible.
I do not think maybach is an option because I am actually getting a few cars in the next few months. A IS250 for my sister's high school graduation, my dads birthday and my GTR when it arrives sometime in the future......so LOL.

balling out of control!
Educate me, a poor fella how to make a balling living?
I didnt even know Maybach existed back then. I though it was only a couple years old?
No. In the 1930's, the Maybach was considered the best car in the world....along with Britain's Rolls-Royce (before the British auto industry went way downhill).
Some Maybachs from that era (of the few that remain) still run perfectly, even on their original parts.

Oh I see... so money is tight. OK, stick with your poor man's luxury cars then.
Of the options you've given, I'd say definitely go with the LS600h.
I'm guessing you want to get him a true VIP luxury car, and you are not looking into anything faster or more sporty?
My bros and I got him a Porsche 911 turbo for his 50th birthday and he did not like it at all. That car is just sitting in his garage for now. So sports car is not an option here, he likes the space.
Why not ask him what he wants? If he prefers comfy luxury, get the LS. If he wants something sporty, my choice would be the S63!
Also, the S8 is a great choice. Great looking car, inside and out.
