ok, thats enough pics, if you want more, PM me. but the LS600 i do not think it should compete with any maybach, not the 62 or the 57. (5.7 meters and 6.2 meters length) those cars cost upwards of $300k. the 6.2 has a v12 and can get to 60 in around 6 seconds... that's fast for a car that is 22 feet long. 
also, that car has a roof that can change from a flourescent overhead light, to a clear glass roof to let sun in... a roof that changes is awesome to me. it was meant to be a limo style, which of course is how the LS is driven in japan. maybach is owned by daimler, so benz contributes a lot to it. the car is supposed to be a step above the s600. really it's supposed to compete with bentley and rolls royce. i doubt that i will ever see a maybach in real life, so i would prefer that the LS600 competed with the s600 and 7series instead of maybach. but with lexuses awesome value, and with all that crazy stuff we have in my dads ultra LS430, for that price, i know that for 300k dollars any lexus would kill a maybach in luxury. seems that a big part of that price is also name recognition.... anyway, keeping this with lexus, a lexus ls600, or 500 would be quite the car with some serious luxury, and i would only hope to own one some day. i am in full support of one

I am not really that impressed with excesses like a Maybach 62 just for the sake of making a $350K+car.
Is a car (or any merchandise) really better just because it's more expensive?
Anybody can build a $10 million car if they start lining the dash board with diamonds..
