I actually think that the proportions of the hood don't look right with the small cabin.
it looks like the grand touring cars of the 20's and 30's
The hood is so long my first thought was inline 12. Hahahaha. I think it is great looking as a design exercise. I don't think driving a car with those proportions would be fun.
I love it. Sure you can't park in many places without making a nuisance... I can live with that.
If it met my small criteria posted earlier I'd even overlook the Mercedes low reliability because I like the look so much. Hell, I might drive a black one regardless... but I'd disable the remote myself for safety reasons.
What can I say, I'm a suckered for overbearing long hooded cars with good stance (not Cadillacs)
It doesn't have mirrors, I don't think. I'm guessing it has cameras for all your concerns.
I don't think you would want to park this anywhere except in your own driveway (when the sun is shining) or garage. In the ungodly event that it should rain, you could use the remote to drive the car into your garage. Why should you get wet going to the car???????
No no no... I'd want to park it in places where it forcibly took extra spots because there were no other options. Yes I know it's expensive but if at least one person doesn't ball with it, it has no real value; and I'm that type of person.
This is my old boss' car and yes, he has a chauffeur.The Maybachs that I have seen (most recently one last week in London), all had one thing in common, they all had drivers for the cars. So the owners don't have to worry about parking spaces. In Hong Kong, the SOP for a chauffeured car is that the driver drops you off and then goes somewhere to wait for you. They don't have to worry too much about parking illegally, since they can always move the car at an instant's notice, if the authorities come along.
Of course, having a chauffeured sports car may defeat the purpose. Then again, you would need to have another car following you, with your entourage/bodyguards, if you got the sports car version. I saw my first Maybach sedan a few years ago in HK at Fook Lam Moon restaurant. It pulled up and out came two bodyguards with the owner of the car, while the driver stayed with the vehicle.
