Poll Mercedes-Maybach S650 vs Rolls Royce Ghost II

[slicknick]

There is a similar thread (see below) comparing the standard S-class with the new Ghost, but now that the pimped-up Maybach version is out; I think it just got a bit more interesting...

Poll - RR Ghost II vs MB S-Class W223 - Which is your preferred Luxury Car release

Haha, never saw this becoming it's own thread. Holy moly, comparing these two alone is silly. A simple production line MB vs a RR! LOL. You MB fanboys truly crack me up. Comparing the lamest S class ever made to a RR. At least wait for the Maybach version. Interesting! When Tesla introduced...

I don’t want a Chinese looking replica of a roller. And also I rather have an super advanced car than not.
And also I rather have a top dog Benz than a entry level roller.

So red maybach for me please.

Bentley

This car would have win this pool

 

[Merc1]

Yeah I would go for the Bentley also. The Maybach is for someone who wants to be driven around, that isn't me. This goofy looking Rolls definitely isn't me either.

While I don't believe anyone is going to realistically cross shop the Rolls-Royce with any other luxury car, Mercedes-Maybach for me please.

Aurus for me.

This is my choice as I am not the biggest fan of either the Maybach or the old man's car Roller. But if choosing between the other 2x is the only option then I would choose the Maybach, it is more my kind of car than the square bus on wheels Ghost.

Yep...This:

Yup I'll have on FS myself. The only nitpick I have is that box like cutout in the rear that extends into the rear light.

I think that no one will chose the Ghost except the people who will buy it. Oh wait, it is made for the people who will buy it and not for the people voting against it in this poll.

By this definition there is no point of discussing it, so there is neither a point for the existence of this forum... right? You take it too seriously my friend

I couldn't care less about Rolls Royce. This brand should long ago have become only electric. But of course BMW doesn't have the balls to do it.

Ghost or Flying Spur... At least you won’t look like a chauffeur unlike the Maybach.

To those who didn't vote the Maybach...time to change vote!

All of the two tone combo's look rubbish - it just does not suit the car at all in my opinion. I also prefer the '222 Maybach, and possibly even the pre-face lift version since the vertical grille does none of the production Maybachs any favours. I think I'd even say I prefer the 57 and 62 to the Z223.

The shot above seems to be trying to make the car appear more like the concept cars... which, I think is futile as it really looks nothing like them, the attempt to bask in reflected glory is a fail IMHO... if they want that glory they need to actually make them, instead of wheeling out the same concepts for 4 years straight.

FWIW, I also haven't chosen the Rolls-Royce yet in the poll either, since I still prefer the outgoing model to that too.

From that angle there are similarities with the front format of the coupe and convertible concepts.

I wonder whether any of these two colors will be available individually, I believe in any of these two it would look majestic, might be even better than the red.
