Saw one outside the chipper near Ormonde Cinemas in Stillorgan of all places. But yeah, they're alright, nothing too special to look at.

whats so good about this car.we are talking about the maybach

Hideous, vulgar, chintzy, kitsch, overpriced understyled schlock.

Zero effort car design. "Ooh lets make it really really big and stick lots of chrome on it." Does anyone remember 50s Americana? At least they had a sense of individuality - this looks like a stretched Sonata. Except the Sonata is a better design.

Saw one driving on the dual carriageway next to UCD a few months back. Saw one driving around Cologne last week. Nothing special really, except the price tag that is.

Nissan Fuga 450GT (Japan). In the states it's called the Infiniti M45. Nissan don't sell their so called upmarket range in Europe, unlike Toyota, so the one you saw is most likely a parallel import

Doesn't do it for me tbh. Designed by Qrio by the looks of it. No doubt it is very comfortable and reliable and has a great stereo and what not though. It probably wobbles all over the road. Just about perfect for the US market methinks

Theres one around ballsbridge a lot, and in and out of one of the hotels.

i wouldnot think he has a maybach.

Lucifer has a Rolls Royce of some description as far as I know. I doubt he'd have a Maybach as well then.

I've seen Louis in a Bentley before. I know Johnny Ronan has a Maybach. There's more than 3 in Ireland, not sure if Smurfit got one.

I have heard that Enya has one, and JP McM has one also.

alias no.9

I've seen a TS registered one, probably John Magnier, and a few D registered ones there's enough speculation above as to who owns them.

Enya's manager owns this Maybach.

Anyone know the total cost of a Mayback 62 and a Phantom.....including VRT, delivery, VAT, etc etc??

....Just out of curiosity

europerson

There's often one parked outside the Fitzwilliam Hotel on St. Stephen's Green. It's so incredibly long!

I'm pretty sure there are only three Irish Maybachs. Maybe somebody could have bought one in the UK and registered it over here but officially MDL has only brought three into Ireland.

drdre, have you seen more than three Maybachs? Even if there actually is more than three it would only be five or six at the most.
