Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
The Phantom makes the Maybach look like a Civic 😳
King of depreciation meets the prince of depreciation.
Damn that intro got me at the end, "should've worked for doug demuro"
LMFAO at the opening.
Nailed it with the intro. And didn't know that Maybach responds to Hey Mercedes commands !!
Both are very impressive. I think the video did a good job of showing the Rolls' old fashioned with a hint of modernism approach vs. the Merc's new age approach to luxury. Both are very impressive in their own ways. The Maybach definitely has more differentiation from the S-class compared to the prior generation so props to them on that.
The Roller is simply a class above though simply due to brand exclusivity and sheer curb appeal. I don't think potential customers are going to care about tech, ambient lighting, etc. type of stuff that the Maybach does better. Rolls Royce is simply in a league of its own.
An analogy would probably be a Tesla vs Ferrari or smart watch vs Rolex. Sure the tech/futuristic thing is objectively better in many ways, but it simply cannot hold a candle to the latter in the eyes of the general public. A Ferrari is a Ferrari.
I'm sure they are amazing cars (will watch the video later) but why are they so damn ugly!?
The RR looks like a retired Optimus Prime, waaaay past it's prime (pun intended), just sadly sitting in his rocking chair and thinking what could He have done better, and the Maybach looks like a C class in her mom's clothes, with badly applied "makeup". Or like those crap cars that the broke owner tried to make look more expensive with off the shelf cheap aftermarket stuff. Like, those two horrid chrome intakes on the bottom of the front... WTF is that? A pimped Fiesta? Ugh, man they are ugly.
If I'd spend that much on a car, I'd expect something elegant, not a sad old robot with erectile dysfunction and a wanna-be grown-up kid from the council housing block. I mean, just look at the "eyes" of the RR. They even have that signature white eyebrow old-man line.
the phantom is drop dead gorgeous
Competing with Rolls Royce with a super fancy trim named after a defunct brand just ain't gonna work.
Funnily enough, Ford in Europe is trying to compete with Mercedes with the same strategy. They think its possible to compete with actual luxury sedans with their Mondeo Vignale - another "luxury trim" named after a defunct brand.
If Mercedes correctly understands that you cannot compete with an E class by pimping out a Fusion, why do they still (incorrectly) assume that they can compete against a Rolls Royce by pimping out an S class?
