It could had been a very special and great car if they didn't based it on the looks of the old Mercedes S-Class. That was one very bad design decision.
Seen today:
Fiat or Alfa? (Attention: +rep for clarification )

Lancia Fulvia, one of the most beautiful cars ever!

LiechtensteinWhere is that license plate from?
And I agree with Shawn that the Maybach looks too plain. My dad saw one and thought it was a $30,000 American family sedan, when I told him that the Maybach is worth more than $300,000. Then his expressions changed.........:lol:
That's kind of the point. It's a car to be driven in not to drive, it looks plain for one reason.... so you don't stick out... think about it, it fooled your father.
I know of through some friends of mine, a couple who are worth hundreds of millions of pounds, who have about 4 or 5 houses/apartments dotted all over the world two here in NZ. They've just bought a Lexus 450 (I think that's the model) they had it on Top Gear doing parallel parking in the studio and crashed it into the cool wall. Down here that car is about $250,000NZ or $160,000US but it looks plain because they don't want to draw attention to the fact that they are well off.
^ I agree, you don't buy a $300 000 car to "blend in".
It is much to plain looking.l
