When you can afford one you can speak about it. If not - it's just bla-bla-bla.

Maybach is the most comfortable car in the world. People want the best and they get it for their money.

OK, so that's why they rather spend their money on a Rolls or a Bentley.

Bentley is much cheaper. So it is not a competitor.

Rolls is the best car to show off: people see how much did you spend for this car. Maybach is another thing. It has more space inside and it is more comfortable, but from the ouside it's just a big, ordinary Mercedes-Benz. This is the only and the biggest problem of Maybach.

If you can afford an Arnage or a Brooklands, surely you can afford a Maybach or a RR.

To me this is the most attractive and appealing Maybach. Perhaps this is the car Maybach needed all along. When I look at the Landaulet I think of the great Mercedes 300 Adenauer and the 600 Pullman and their Landaulet variants. Heck, even the W126 had a Landaulet version made for the Pope.

The price tag seems a bit crazy though.

I just want to see it in another color scheme. The all-white look is very gaudy IMO.

I don't agree.

If you can afford to own a Maybach, then you really have your choice of anything ....so price will not be the main consideration; personal preference will dictate.

Any vehicle which caters to the highest level of the luxury market is in the running for this top-tier consumer so of course Bentley is a competitor.
