Somehow I do not see the point of the 62 S from an owner's perspective. Why have a chauffer-driven driver's car, which is what the S version is supposed to be? Or, if they insist on having the S cars, why not delete the regular trim with the 550 hp engine completely, and have only the trim differences? And yes, keep prices the same. Thus, MM would be better able to justify the already outrageous prices they charge for a package that can easily find a substitute in the S class.
The Mayback 53 (or 51, cant keep track now) is a far better addition to the Maybach line.
Pointless..... but I still really like it. I would consider owning one if I was in the market for it -- it is better value than Katie Holmes wedding dress at least.
Last weekend I got a close view of the 57 S and its interior and suprsingly the car looks amazing. It was black and had white designo interior with carbon fibre panels. It was really beautiful and a car I could see myself buying if Madonna adopts(buys me from my parents) me.
With more car-loving rich bastards than perhaps any city in the world, Los Angeles is easily the most fitting place for Maybach to launch its new flagship-among-flagships: the 2007 Maybach 62 “S”.
