That Maybach 6 cabrio at source is one of my favorite autos ever (in terms of exterior design). It's on a par with the Bugatti Royale (1927-33) seen here...

If I was worth 10 billion I wouldn’t own a car with a sticker price over $100K. I might buy a Mercedes S Class or a BMW 7 Series...but nothing more.

Rush already owns a couple of the old Maybach jalopies.

Much of the success of the new Maybach is going to hinge on its being distinguishable from the Mercedes S class. The biggest complaints about Maybach so far have been “why pay $175K for a $91K car?”

When you have kind of scratch, spending $100K on a car and $1 on a pack of gum are roughly equivalent relative to your total stash.

That's basically true.The only reason I don't own such a car now....given my resources it would be beyond stupid for me to spend that kind of $$$ on a car.

If I had $10 BILLION, I'd buy the most beautiful car ever designed - a Bugatti Chiron..a bargain at $4 million.

It has 1500HP and oodles of luxury - the perfect combination of performance & luxury.
