Yeah, that's pretty sweet alright, but what a waste. I wonder how long until we see the first gold plated one

Maybe it's just me but the face almost looks like a Dodge Dart! Give a Quattroporte any day.

Marketing guys again. Good luck! There are so many great choices, nowadays for luxury 4 doors. This one is for the fringe.

Grill looks hideous. As Mike mentioned, looks like a Dart or Ford Fiesta.

I've seen worse looking big 4 dr luxury barges.
The Maybach was a bit of a styling disaster. Front is a little unsubtle. I feel they could have done a bit more with the grille to look less like a 'barn door'. Still, I guess it won't sell on it's looks so much as its exclusivity - at least that's what the Marketing Dept. seems to think.

Honestly looks like something Chrysler would debut as a prototype. Limited production cars are an easy sell to those with money to burn. Can't blame them, I'd buy one too!

'Ugly' doesn't do it justice.
I'll stay with my 55 (and my DB9) :0).

criticisms of the front end aren't fair, IMHO, as it's dodge and ford that copied AM, not the other way around. also, this is a 4-door, so, of course it's not going to have the looks of a coupe.
for sure it's distinctive, exclusive and new. i'm afraid that the quattroporte is getting a little long in the tooth. again, just my opinion.... |

Amazing that the same company which creates the one-77 can create this... Front isn't great, but I could get used to it, but the rear-roof and taillights are hideous, and don't match the rest of the car at all... The Rapide is beautiful - looks like they were trying to solve the headroom/legroom problem with the higher roof line but it didn't work out too well (ala Panamara...)
For what I'm sure is similar cost, Flying Spur, Mulsanne, S-65/600, Ghost, etc are much more attractive... |

Not that great looking in my opinion. Would much rather have a Bentley or S550 regardless of price.
