Default C6 beats a Maybach

I just have to share this one. A client of mine just bought the new Maybach. He didn't tell me how much he paid although my guess is about $350k. Anyway, we decided to get something at Rita's and drove both cars, my top down C6, Lemans blue,and Casmere interior and his Black on Black Maybach. In 15 minutes 6 or 7 people were checking out the vette while nobody gave a glance at the Maybach sitting 6 feet away. So there it stands, More bang for the buck for sure!

I think the average "person" can't appreciate (or don't know) how unique and exceptional a Maybach is - they just aren't seen enough or advertised. Whereas, Corvettes are American icons.

If given the choice though of where to spend my money - I'd take the Vette over the Mayback anyday. The extra 300k I'd save is a lot of lapdances down at the gentleman's club

I kinda think the Maybach looks like a stretched Kia.

In most places yes. But places like Rodeo Dr. in Beverly Hills... Hmm....

Ouch!


I drove the Maybach 57 last year at Pebble Beach. It is a sweet ride. It even had a jar of Gray Pupon in the rear console/cooler.

I will stick with my C6.

As I see it - this is a back seat vehicle. If I'm driving - something went terribly wrong in my career choice!

As for grey poop-on <grin>; that doesn't go well with corndogs ;-)
