Samuel L. Jackson buys a Maybach 57S in Germany

I read German, so I found this on a German auto news site. The man has a great taste!

The price Jackson paid: 450,000 Euros


German Headline:
Gemeinsam mit seiner Ehefrau nutzte Hollywood-Star Samuel L. Jackson seinen Deutschland-Aufenthalt im Rahmen der "Bambi"-Verleihung im neuen Mercedes-Benz-Museum für einen Besuch im "Maybach Center of Excellence" in Sindelfingen. Das Paar bestellte direkt ein neues Auto.

Translation:
Together with his wife, Samuel L. Jackson used a Germany visit (to get a Bambi Award) to stop by the new Mercedes-Benz Museum and order a Maybach in the "Maybach Center of Excellence" in Sindelfingen.

Why?...this Maybach is his new toy and I'm sure he paid cash for the car.

Why, because a black man drives a better car than you???

Just kidding.

Because I hate Maybach. Their designs are terrible, and even their interiors are daed. You can get what is essentially the same rear seats in a Lexus LS460L for about 1/5 of the price. I give props to Lexus for that.

Would have been cheaper to buy it in America. About 229,970 dollars cheaper to buy it here. Maybe less depending on options. I saw it, very nice.

BTW, I saw TWO Ferrari F430 Spyders today, one red and one blue.

"I've had enough of these mothaf*ckin' snakes on this mothaf*ckin' plane"

My quote of 2006 :-)

Oh yeah...nice car...but I would have gotten the black.

What was funny is that during the movie, when Samuel L. Jackson said that infamous line. Just about everybody in the theater stood to there feet and said it, in unison, ...it was hilarious!

Was that lower facia pulled directly from a last gen S500? Looks the same!

That Maybach sure looks good in white. Otherwise, I am not really crazy about the Maybach. Nice clean design, a tad boring but an awesome car nonetheless. Just not for me. Give me an S-Class. Cheaper and better-looking IMO.

He probably owns a LS460L, but he wanted one of these too.
