Saw a Maybach

saw a maybach parked on Park Avenue... dang, nice car, it was the shorter version one... man twin-turbo V12... sheesh...

took a closer look, yeah, man, exactly what you expect for $400k!!!

but the exterior reminded me some sort of cross between MB S Class and Lincoln Continental.

I saw one in Manhattan last weekend too. It's an incredible car, but not terribly impressive looking from the outside

40 gal tank and 17 mpg, that will get you cross country on just a hand full of gas stops.

The Maybach is a warmed over Sclass......doesn't impress me at all for what it costs.

The outside is beyond not impressive, I would get a RR Phantom over a Maybach any day of the week.

I saw a Maybach once it was a rapper named Project Pat driving it. It didn't look like a car that costs 3 or 4 hundred thousand. But I'd take one in a heartbeat!!!

I hope he wasn't driving it, but being driven.
