    We have a customer with one of these and besides the fact that he has lost his behind, in residual value, it is and, I have always thought, a disappointment. One doesn't pay this price for a car that stands out no more than a Crown Vic, I don't care what is said. The car had no distinguishing qualities and why one would choose it over a Bentley or RR is beyond my small capacity of reasoning....

    The use of "car" over "automobile" was intentional....

    It probably would have sold better if they had used Zeppelin engines, like the original Maybach!:Thumbsup:
