I have been looking closely at these 2 cars. The Bentley is just too small for me and was not being considered. I found The Phantom difficult to get in and out of. You had to slide forwards in your seat to get out of the back. the front is very sterile, maybe good for the hired driver but not for me. The steering wheel was awkward.

The V 16 rag top version (concept car) we saw at Pebble Beach (but could not test drive) was a different story. I would buy one of those.

I drove the Maybach on the track at Sebring. I can tell you both the 57 and 62 are the most balanced cars I have driven. No understeer or oversteer in either car running at the edge. My only complaint was the body roll. They are now building a 57 for me with a much larger and stiffer anti-roll bar system. I should get it in December. Renntech who works with MB and AMG is going to get me another 120 - 150 ft.lbs of torque.

I can not wait.
