atleast thats what the MM rep told me at the IAA.. almsot all who buy 57´s drive them.. especially the 57s

Personnaly i don't think a car of 3T can be considered as a car we buy for a sporty driving experience.

However, the Phantom does carry with it possibly undesirable long-held connotations of social-rank, snobbishness, privilege, and excess. I find it somewhat amusing that for decades Rolls-Royce was proud to be a genuine blue-blooded symbol of the old-moneyed establishment (even if in reality Rolls-Royce became more synonymous with self-made millionaires) today though, many of those old-world attitudes are viewed negatively as being too discriminating and prejudiced - so what kind of people buy Rolls-Royces in 2006? - the real blue-blooded establishment (and European aristocracy) are much more likely to drive themselves (Audi A6's, A8's, BMW 7ers, Range-Rovers, and Mercedes S, G, or E class's for example) - Maybach's and Phantom's are much more likely to be bought by celebrities and self-made entrepreneurs.

So are you suggesting that the clientele for Maybach and RR might turn... frightfully, distasteful?

For me pleasure to drive come from two things sport or confort. In our case we cann't speak about sport despite all Maybach marketing department efforts, so we can only speak imo about confort and in that case i think flying carpet(rolls) is doing better than the big panzer (maybach)

still you arent understanding me..
my problem with the roller and the 62 is.. that imo they are meant for ppl that want to be driven.. i dont want that.. so therefor i wont pay 3 million to get driven... to me buying such a car is like buying a lincoln strech limo..
the 57 is more of a drivers car.. its smaller and you can drive it.. ( its sure not sporty) but are all other cars that ppl drive sporty.. im sure you can enjoy a drive in a MM 57S..

Why a maybach 57 is more for men who want to drive their car than than the rolls ??

The Artist · **Re: Rolls-Royce vs. Maybach (CNNMoney.com caparison) -** 03-26-2006, 12:19 PM

i think its smaller.. its more like a sedan.. the rolls is like superspeciall..
it feels like you have to dress a certain way and live a certain way to have it even..
and seriously if you own it and drive it.. and ile get out the back.. ppl will think i own the car.. and your my driver..
i dont want that when i pay so much cash..

PS
Like i said if i could chose i wouldnt want any of these cars.. i take a S65 rather.. but if i have to chose give me the 57.. its the closest to a drivers car..

Artist I just remember a thing. You always say you prior design over driving experience. You said it yourself, the RR look better than Maybach so if you favor design, the RR is the choice for you

The Artist · **Re: Rolls-Royce vs. Maybach (CNNMoney.com caparison) -** 03-27-2006, 06:45 AM

it looks better.. but the 57S comes close.. and if i cant drive it then the looks comes in 2nd hand..
