Aussies say no to Maybach



Despite having an official presence in Australia, not one Aussie opted for this luxury road yacht. That's right, not one new Maybach was sold in Australia during 2007. Amazing—and especially amazing considering Rolls-Royce has a long backlog of orders with their competing Phantom, with 17 sold in Australia last year. No, not a huge number but considering the MSRP and the population of Oz, not bad I'd say...
And, hey... that's still a bunch more than Maybach sold!

Full story here.

Point taken. I was never any good at math, and this just confirms it. :)

I like the Maybach, it's classy. The rolls is just another flashy retro car. Oh well I guess the rich in Oz just wanna show it off.
