When you look at the trunk of the Maybach doesn`t it remind you of the lines of the W140?....from which it takes a number of styling cues.

I have always thought that the Maybach is the logical development of the S600L. Think that`s certainly true in respect of the quality of the car and the prices you had and have to pay for them.

At launch fifteen years ago the V12 S was at or over £100,000 so taking inflation into account the Maybach is just about on the button in terms of equivalent asking price.

One of the main criticism of the W140 was it`s size but the Maybach dwarfs the W140. What was your impression? Is it too big?

RE: Saw a maybach at my dealer.

I've sat in the drivers seat of one before and even though its very long it should be quite manageable with a little practice. I've driven everything from Range Rovers to small box trucks (Moving day [8D] ) And if someone can manage to get a bus up the roads of my fathers hometown in Portugal (Can you say mountains?) then a Maybach 62 should be even easier to manuver despite its length.

Does anyone even know what the turning radius is?
