Any comments?
I like the Phantom but its essentially a BMW. I would rather have the RR instead of the Maybach because im sure you all know how I feel about Mercedes by now.

What do you guys think??

I think the RR is the most stately looking luxury sedan in at least 30 years. It blows away the Chrysler-looking Maybach in appearance. But on the other hand they don't compare performance-wise. The Maybach has exceptional power and brakes that stop almost like a Modena. I think I'd go for the Mercedes S65 instead. I'ts not launched yet, but it will be out soon. Expect to pay about $180,000 plus $50,000 dealer markup for an S65. I drove the SL65 (same powerplant) and it's outrageous...but out of the hole it could be better (a bit squirrely, no traction...now I know why Lambo went the VT route in the mid-90s). But given a choice between the Maybach and RR, I'd go with a black RR. Both will take a beating in depreciation though. The RR has a nice cabin (of course) but I prefer the Maybach interior, especially the 62's back seat with the trick roof. $4,000 for cloth side curtains is a bit silly though.

I like the RR too but it was kind of a turn off to have the BMW parts in it just like the Range Rover. I agree that it does look beutifull!
Also hear the Maybach is not selling very well

on the RR front, why do you want the car needs o be the real question, if it's only to pick up chicks then a 80's RR will get ou everywhere you want & need to go. If it's true performance you want I tend to agree the MB's are getting damn hard to beat when you factor in cost per burnout .

I like the old one too JR. To me cars changed after 98 with all the
consolidation in the auto industry

The Maybach is not a proper car - it's for sitting in the back of only when you get picked up from the airport.

Is the new RR really a BMW (are Lamborghini really Audi's?!), it's clearly not a drivers car. It's like driving Buckingham Palace around - very beautiful but huge and impractical.

Stick with Lamborghini!
