Which car is the best car in the world? RR or MM?

[Dresol]

I don't understand why Mercedes tryed to build a car that's supposed to be the most luxurious car in the world under the brand Maybach, but the car turned out to be a a more electronical-deviced thing then the S-class. The only thing that separates the Maybach from the S-class is some of the interieur and some of the exteriour, but you can still clearly see that Macbach is a Mercedes.

Rolls Royce Phantom on the other hand, is a beautifully built car. You can clearly see that the design has been taken from various Rolls Royce models over the years. It is magnificent. Nice car.

But which car is the best car in the world?


The Rolls Royce?


Or the Maybach?

well the rolls has a lot more prestige, and heritige with the ultra luxurious IMO. rolls has always been for the ultra rich, and benz is for the almost there rich. name alont rolls is my pick, but then the fact that the maybach has reclining rear seats... well that just puts it into another category. but i mean name alone i pick rolls, but form what i know about the cars, i would have to go with maybach

p.s. i dont know much about the phantom, please inform me.

Same as an S?? at least the tests say something different. The soundisolation is extreme in a maybach, they was talking normally at a speed of 250 when they said; hey, we are driving 250!!

The RR looks strange I think! But certainly a great car! Take a look at a Volvo 740 and you know what I mean!

But anyways, these are cars that people who owns such a big overload of money that they don't know how to spend them. But it's a brilliant idea to produce such cars, they make money!

The twp cars got a lot of benefits to give to their owners, but I would chose the Rolls myself. I won't have a "bigger S-class", cause that's what the Maybach is. If you'd like to see which car that does have the best interieur, then let's judge them out of these pictures here:

No the Maybach is NOT a bigger S.

[Dresol]

The Maybach is a bigger S-class, because the frame and every single button in the Maybach is from the Mercedes S-class. There is no way you can denie that. The S-class changed some of the interieur just after the production of the Maybach, because Mercedes made a beautifullier interieur in the Maybach, so they thought that they could use it in the S-class. So now when the buyers look for a car that seems exlusive and can't afford the Maybach, they buy the S-class. It's a fact.

The frame? I can accept the buttons but the frame? isn't the frame bigger in maybach?

[djfux69]

the maybach is really long, i doubt they share a frame.

Maybach has its own chassis, but major components are from Mercedes.
The 5.5-litre twin-turbo V12 is adapted from S600, with boost pressure.
The 5-speed automatic gearbox is strengthened from the S-class.
The suspensions, both front and rear, is from the S-class.
AIRmatic DC air suspension with adaptive damping from the E-class and SBC braking system from the E-class.
The dashboard architecture is based on S-class.

If I was gonna sit in the back of the car, my pick would be the Rolls.
If I was gonna drive it, I would choose the Mercedes, not the Mercedes Maybach, but the S600 and still have plenty of money left.

I like the looks of the Rolls the best, Maybach doesn't look special enough. From inside it's hard to fault the comfort of the Maybach, just look at the room to stretch out, I'm really tall so I could definitely use that. The Maybach might be a little more entertaining to drive, but then both of these cars are for riding in, so who really cares about that? I might have to give the comfort award to the Maybach because it's so spacious, and the panoramic roof section is cool too.

Before either though, I would choose a Bentley Arnage, I have a thing for the Bentley.
