2005 Maybach 57 Review

Summary

What Edmunds.com says

This German take on the handcrafted British super-luxury saloon satisfies in most every way but can't match the conspicuous splendor of the Rolls-Royce Phantom.

Pros

Unbelievably luxurious cabin, smooth ride, handles and accelerates well for a 6,000-pound vehicle.

Cons

Costs more than twice as much as an S600, too many controls pulled from Mercedes' parts bin, feels cumbersome in heavy traffic, bland styling.

What's New for 2005

No major changes this year.
