First of all, let's start off with the pronunciation of the name:

It's MY-bok, not MAY-bok

And it's BACH (like the composer) not BOK

Nice pics, I only saw it in the dual-tone version till now; I like it better like this.

some people might not know how to pronounce "Bach" so I had to change it ...

but yes, that is how it's suppsoed to be pronounced

Psssshh... Still uses a key? No push button start?

Very pimp, but I never found Maybach's to be very good looking.
I would've saved a bunch of dough and gotten an S-Class instead.
Most people don't even know what a Maybach is.

Why compete?

My parents are happy with the cars they drive and our family has already agreed that in a few years, we'd like to buy a bigger house rather than a $400K car. So Cal housing bubble is going to burst soon and we'll buy a bigger house after that.

edit: I don't whose Maybach this is going to be (wife or husband) but they didn't exactly have awesome cars to begin with. Wife drives a Toyota Corolla wagon from 1994 or something and husband drives a Ford Excursion (I guess contractors have to lug around a lot of things)

what makes u think ur house will be exempt from the bubble bursting?

My old house?

We're not selling. We'll be renting it out for a couple years.

We did that with the previous house we owned.

You are correct!

I don't watch a lot of TV though.

agree 100%

 

The only car that's worth $315,000 is one that could stop bullets, an IED, and get 35 miles/gallon.

This one clearly isn't worth the price.

to me its a car you'd rent for a wedding. otherwise its sorta disgusting if you know what i mean.

From the article

But, he says, in some developed economies such as Germany the cars are politically incorrect.

what is that supposed to mean?

Man Maybach's are freakin sweet. A friend of mine works as a Maybach specialist in the nearby dealership. The car buyer usually doesn't even come it. It's the chauffeur, and they're there to pick out the color of the suede that the buyer wants.

12/17mpg? WTF, thats a joke right?

 

[surreal1221]

Good damn. . . hotness.

edit: hotness until he is going to get the same MPG as a damn hummer.

No. Dude, look at that engine.

Nice car, but I can think of others I'd prefer for the money.

Also amazed that this far into the thread, we have not had a comment about the Bose system.

Oh, I didn't see that

I do get the 666 thing ... it's just that he said Alhambra and that's the city just south of mine.
