Well, silver-coloured metal, yes... But totally out of place.
The buttons are wonderful, so old-fashioned and stylish...

What i don't like about the Landaulet is the price. 1 million euro is way too much for that car. It's really nothing more than just a Maybach 62S with half the roof modified. The premium is IMO too high and some skilled workshop or coach builder can most likely nicely convert any maybach to a Landaulet for a reasonable sum.

The Roller is the finer and more well designed car of them but the MLandaulet is more pompous and majestic of the two.

Naturally the Landulet will get slaughtered if Rolls Royce create something similar of the Phantom.

Good point

And you can still enjoy the luxury yacht on wheels experience...

I mean you're paying a 500 000 dollar premium on this car. It's even a worse rip off than the Lamborghini Reventon.

That's right. The downside (if one chooses to consider it as such) of course is that the collector value suffers because you now have an after market modded car and no longer the real deal stock car.

But if the intended purpose is to just enjoy a drop-dead gorgeous luxury yacht of a car, the after market deal is obviously the way to go for cost conscious luxury car buyers.

Well I don't think so, aftermarket is not really like a real MM car.

No collectionnal value, no real guarantee that the product is good, no guarantee of crash-test and all that... And it is not a real Maybach Landaulet, just a fake.

Like the Reventon, the premium you pay is the price of the exclusivity, face to the "vulgar" Rolls that everybody can buy...The people interested don't care of the price, on the contrary such a price id a statute mark and the proof they can afford it. I even would say it would not be as attractive for them if it costed the price of the Rolls.
