btw, is maybach only offered in japan? is it related to any other company?
Yes, Maybach is a division of DaimlerBenz. It is a German car, not Japanese. I believe it will be coming out next year & will come here to the US.

Maybach is the company name. IIRC they used to make nice high end cars but they left the USA in shame and are now back under the wing of DaimlerChrysler for better publicity (i think). They offer two versions of their car, the Maybach 57 and the Maybach 62, which are 5.7 meters long and 6.2 respectively. They will have the same V12 engine as the 600's. The only difference is they are not limited.

Like i said its "USELESS"
When are you going to use 500hp in daily driving?
Even on the highway?

Yea those are some nice numbers but how many people take their S600 to the race track?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????


Why would u waste 115,000 on a overpriced benz or lexus with a v-12????????????


Someone said when will we ever see a 500hp LS400,
My comment towards that is "WE DONT WANT A 500HP LS"
The LS is not a racer thats for sure. GEt a SC shieettttt

XxLS400xX: You may think its useless and so do so many other people. But its not about taking it to the track, its not about being in a race car, its not about being in a V-12. Its just a feeling, i'm not sure if you understand, but i'm gonna step onto a limb and say this..

Some people think of a car as an object with four wheels to get from Point A to Point B. To others, Point B,C, and Point D is (are?) the car. I am one of the latter types of people.

I dunno, the Maybachs don't really impress me that much. Not nearly as good looking as the S class.They do have an awesome interior but their road presence pales compare to the Bentley's and RR.

Just can't see paying 3 times as much for a Maybach rather than a S600.

Before the Maybach comes out, I never thought I would look at the S600 as a really good deal.

Personally i haven't seen the Maybach in person but, I think it is justified in three times the price of a S600 once the publicity is much greater and the average joe learns that this car is up higher than the ranks of RR.

Thank you for understanding my view.

btw: i can't drive any of those cars! i'm only 15!
Also the LS400 isn't a family car, it just sits there waiting for me, SL is my dads daily driver and the van is my moms daily driver. Personally i think the SL was a waste of money. I still love it though because there is no competition for it.
