Cadillac.

I don't care how luxurious the Maybach is, I'd like to be tooling around with 1000 ponies at my disposal.

Plus the Caddy supposedly shuts off the cylinders it doesn't need for highway driving, so the highway mileage is supposed to be 20.

Maybach fer sure. Cadillac needs to do much more than what it has done to now. Mercedes, however, does not.

Definitely the Cadillac.

16 cylinders. Incredible looks. A true "standard of the world" car.

The Maybach might as well be a Toyota Corolla by comparison....

I'd love to see them build that car.

The biggest difference between the Maybach and the Cadillac is the fact that you can order a Maybach right now end that the Cadillac most likely will never be build. GM is afraid it cannot meet the necessary impeccable quality that is essential for this car.

The Cadillac 16 uses a f*c*ing 4 speed automatic.
The Maybach uses a beefed up version of MB W5a800 the w5a900
The New rolls Phantom uses the ZF 6hp32 6 speed automatic

Cadillac will never be the 'world standard' again.

If GM decides Cadillac will be the standard of the world, it will happen.

GM can do any damn thing they please if they put their minds to it.

A 16 cyl engine, do you really need 6 speeds? I don't think so.

I would LOVE to see that car be built.
