They'll take their Maybachs to a Benz dealership. The mechanicals should be 99.999% identical any S-class.

The Maybach was just way over price, it cost close to 4 time what MB S-Class cost. And it is after an overprice Maybach that use old MB platform.

What happen to all that Prestige and Heritage crap everyone was crying about?

My father happens to own a Maybach 57 and on the weekends he lets me take it out.. When the driver opens the door and you get out of the back, everyone around starts looking at you... it makes the car worth every dollar. Not only is it good for rolling up the the Ritz, but in my opinion its not a big boat like the rolls, it has more torque then my Ferrari 355, and is way more responsive then my CL600. touch the gas and it really goes... As heavy as a range and as fast as an M3. Wonderful, beautiful car.
