Maybach S600 transports us to the 1 percent side of the tracks, rear seat airbags are on the way, and what exactly is a "compliance car"?

"Barely enough room for the owner's ego" I just about fell out of my chair
Curb your jealousy
That hyundai comment was sooooo shady!!! LMAO. (@ 4:20)
For once, a well-dressed modern-day presenter. What a pleasure. Good job. CNET!
You're damn right my Hyundai doesn't have that.
lol
Saw the guy who lives near me that used to own a Veyron buy a Maybach S600 for his wife. Got to sit in it a couple days before. I'd honestly rather take it than a Bentley Mulsanne. The interior is just amazing.
***** Any source? Links to verify?
7thGenGaming it's like a private jet fitted in a car.
3lite It's Dubai, that's your source. Their top officers drive Bugattis, Lamborghinis, Ferraris and much more.
+A Sam link please? otherwise bullshit ! yes I know sheikh from dubai are filthy rich
WuWei Xu Oh ok, so everything that's attributed to Dubai in regards to cars I believe in now? Ok... Thank you.
As soon as you spend about one week with a car with a fridge you won't want to live without it. I used to think like Brian about that until I bought a Land Cruiser Prado that comes with one, and I can tell you it's really cool that you can throw a soda, water, a chocolate bar and even some juice and keep it in there for a few days without having to take it out as soon as you get home, it keeps cool thru the night and in 15 minutes of driving you can cool down a beer to it's "drinkable" temperature (at least on this side of the globe).
Damn 24 speakers....
***** The Cadillac CT6 has a 34-speaker Bose sound system lol
***** Damn Damn!!
***** and third the cost lol
***** Burmester speakers not Bose.
Koji Takata Nope it's Bose, check it out.
Cant wait for this luxury boat to depreciate.
Noor Singh Virk Wait like 5 years and it will probably be half the price.
We don't have to wait anymore! Im going to go look at one this week, wish me luck
@@garlicbreth3 Be careful about maintenance
@@straightbusta2609 2015 Mercedes S Class has 5/5 reliability on CR :)
@@garlicbreth3 rip🥲
***** The only reason I can think of for the tweeters rotating is due to the fact that the sound is high frequencies are very directional and perhaps it aligns with driver position?
*****
Or because they are trying to jump on the B&O band wagon?
Split view TV? Heated and cooled cup holders? Head up display? I'll take 20.
Mr.Cooley does some of the BEST Car reviews and shows on CZcams :D
3:35 this car has fuckin Parental Controls wtf
+Sly Cooper As if anyone would let their children drive their Maybach lol.
Leonardo |-/ Right haha
Its for the screens/internet access
Ofcourse, think about it; Parents who earn the avarage buck let their kids drive their 'average' car.. Wealthy parents let their kids drive their class car. I drive my uncle's porsche every now and then when he is overseas for bussiness (he shouldn't, i nearly kill myself everytime i drive it).
DEL 1337 facts
The menus are complicated? let the chauffeur deal with that
Nice episode!
Here in the middle east, its so excruciatingly hot, that having a fridge with cold beverages is a very nice and useful feature to have. Thats why some of the more regional cars, like the toyota land cruiser and the nissan patrol have it.
"Telling it like it is" doesn't mean constantly complaining about every single thing you don't like.
I actually like those wheels, they suit the car
Bernie Me too
they look classy
I love to watch Brian Coooool Cooley reviews! Entertaining as always! Please never leave CNET Brian.
The most entertaining review of a luxury car I've seen; only Cooley can pull this off.
Imagine if there was a Landaulet version like there was for the older Maybach.
6:02
"since you have to work 18 hours to afford one of these"
Did you catch that lazy people.
I dont even had a money to pay internet just to be able to watch this video.
So... if you hit both buttons on the center console at the same time, does the car explode?
i really like this guys reviews so honest
I love Brian Cooley, I love tech, and I love cars. Guess this is the perfect place for me. I always look forward to a new episode and get excited when I see one.
Its meant to be driven in....Leave figuring out the menu to your driver!
Damn that maybach! makes want to go to a spa where you get your balls messaged! lol
5:30 ," ABC, not a spelling lesson,it's automatic body control" XD
@7:14 LOL "barely enough room for owners ego in the trunk"
Brian C. with a cigar and a suit reminds me of J. Jonah Jameson.
The best automotive show!!!!
I just love it when every once in a while a serious auto maker like Benz comes along and throws in everything they have and their unique selling point for this car is ... you should buy one just because you CAN. The hell with trunk practicality ... true the fridge eats up a lot of room in the trunk, however, it seems the guys at Cnet dont have a clue on how Maybach clients travel. There will probably be a convoy of Range Rovers following this car with all the luggage, admin staff, help staff and occasionally full security detail, so trunk space is never an issue. In fact most Maybach owners probably dont know what the inside of their trunk looks like. As a matter of fact they probably will never spend in the car more than 2 hours in a single trip, because any trip that requires more than 2 hours will be shortened using the private Jet ... One thing I think Cnet missed is the back seat techs ... like massage, seat temperature, ventilation, how many ways it moves, corner bracing where the whole seat tilts to maintain a normal resultant on its occupants during cornering and not disturb them ... so on and so forth. When it comes to Maybach, dont mention practicality ... if you want practical, get a Lexus. Also if you truly love the car, you will get your Engineering degree and you will know how to navigate all the options (or you will assign someone to do that for you), if you want simple, get a Rolls
The console in my 98 Infiniti opens from either side too. It's great.
Maybach, if it's good enough for a tiger tank, it's good enough for Mercedes.
Another great show Brian
I love watching this guy!
Your presentation is top notch
the split screen is crazy
This review was an absolute ball to watch. Very entertaining. Thanks!
E in Mercedes stands for efficiency, economy declass the entire car.
***** :( I wasn't trying to be, it's in the manual
I can't believe you called the i3 a compliance car. They sell them everywhere, not just CA and not just the USA. They're selling at about 50-80% the volume of the LEAF and they invested a ton of money to make the most efficient EV ever.
People buy this car to be chauffeured around, which is why there's a fridge in the back. Also remote control for the front. As far as the complicated info system, that's for the chauffeur to learn to use. The owner just tells him/her what he wants.
damn and i thought rolling up to school in my wheelbarrow in africa was impressive
I don't know what your problem is with the Fridge. The Ford Flex has had that option since 2009. It's nice thing to have on a road trip.
Damn look at those rims. Straight chrome plate.
I'm not sure you can list the BMW i series vehicles as compliance cars. First off the i8 is a PHEV not a full EV in any trim. The i3 is available as a full EV and was designed as a full EV from the ground up. Neither car is a warmed over version of anything else BMW makes. The Mitsubishi i-MiEV also falls into that category. Everything else on that list is unavailable in regions that don't have a ZEV mandate. (Aside from the Ford Focus Electric that's available in Chicago by special order only no test drives :) )
Fantastic review of the maybach
The dash-cam in the Corvette (and Cadillac ATS-V) has a valet mode.
Don't you understand.... a person buyin this car has a driver to learn all the controls and order him to what you want. That's what he's employed for.
It's basically an 8-inch longer S-class, but I don't think I'd get it. Why not just two S-classes? lol
Is that a chip in the edge of the door at 6:00. Probably cost more than my car to fix...LOL
Maurice Jones Imagine someone putting cheap chrome door edge protection strips on all the doors :P
Please get rid of the goofy sounds...
And the redundant visual effects too.
+Wishwader.
Wish Cooley was my uncle, love this dude.
glad he didn't repeat that burmester reminds him of budweiser
Even the seatbelts have some kind of sealing to have them make less noise.
This guy is the best on youtube always good for a laugh!
In the UK you are absolutely required to where a seat belt no matter where you are sitting in a car. Also your road tax is calculated by your emissions. And in the UK you get a road tax exemption for a hybrid; plug-in hybrid; electric cars.
Must have a huge battery or two for all that equipment! Great review BTW
I like the 57 and 62 more than the new s600
Agree. Now looks like any other Merc.
ben garcia ikr now the new s600 looks like any other Mercedes u see driving around
I'm in a deep love with Mercedes. I know I don't own the company, but I'm seriously proud of it....
I love this show. Thank you Brian!
Once again Cooley shows us hes the man!
This is the first time I ever heard about the split view feature. Very weird that no other reviewers have ever highlighted it. Pretty cool feature though!
"you don't need a loan to buy this car, you need a degree in engineering." LOL this guy is something else.
Awesome video as always Cooley
OMG..I love this guy!!
Mercedes-Benz Maybach S600? The best S Class ever!
I don't understand the negative parts of this review. It seemed to be expecting too much. I love my Mercedes automobiles but, then again, if I was looking for one with a driver i would have to think long and hard about choosing this over a Rolls Royce Phantom with an extended wheelbase. Still, the S600 Maybach is a lovely automobile.
The Lincoln town car 2003-2011 armrest compartment does the same thing.
I don't see the links. I wanted to check out the dash cams. You should put them in the description.
Ethiopia
This is a great show! Subscribing!
great episode as always man, keep em coming
And Mr. Cooley (n his team) ought to get CZcams presenter of the year award. :Eloquence
whoa test driving on the road where I used to live on... tho probably at least 5 miles from my appt. didn't expect to see that
Enjoyed the episode
Hey Brian, minute 1:14 sounds exactly like a BMW/Rolls-Royce when turning on the ignition. Subliminal or direct message? ha ha.. Btw great review as usual!
He sat in Mercedes the first time? So many Mercedes have that feature, where "the hinge on the console changes the sides".
Great host and fantastic video!
loved the episode Brian!
I think the best luxury option is the dashboard dual LCD screen
They should put that sunroof technology on side windows. You would never have tint your windows again. It'll be dark when you want it and light when you don't (like at night)
This car is good news for Lexus buyers! In 10 years time they will be able to buy a Lexus with similar tech!
cristiandemirel1918 in ten years the tech you'll find in this will be out of this world
cristiandemirel1918 Except for the dual-view screen and shaded sunroof (which BTW, should not be worth $5000), a lot of the features in this car can be found in others that are less than half the price. On top of that, such competing cars (such as the new Cadillac Escalade) can seat more, drive safely in harsh weather, and is easier on fuel consumption. Overall, I'd say the Merc is better, but not for the price.
Peter Schmidt The Cadillac Escalade? :)))
cristiandemirel1918 Yeah, surprised me too. When you think quality and luxury, Cadillac usually isn't the first thing that comes to mind (though obviously not the last either). Check out the EngineeringExplained review of it. I was impressed by how much Cadillac accomplished for the price point. Like I said, still not as nice as the Merc, but pretty damn close.
Peter Schmidt I really like the new Escalade! It's a class above, in terms of luxury, compared with the previous model, but let's not get carried away! They don't even address to the same market. Anyway, America is now in the renaissance period of its car industry. The new Corvette is my favorite!
Where is the massage chair! I'll take those over most of the top 5 luxury tech mentioned
Brian Cooley is love, Brian Cooley is life
Que pais vcs estão e qual é o valor. Parabéns. Gentileza de legendar em português.
it does come with infinite door checks, i have been in one and it was the first thing that i noticed opening the door. may it is an option?
the regular S class also has it.
wait 20 years buy one have everything repaired keep working at McDonalds.
PaliOnMyMind You are correct. Speaking as someone who, in the late 90s, received a screaming deal 12 year old BMW 535i as his first car .... I can say first hand the maintenance cost on these things (particularly at that age) is well out of the reach of anyone making minimum wage.
Derek Weber The older the car, the harder it is to find parts.
still cheaper than buying new
***** yeah but it's still extremely expensive, old and constantly falling apart and it looks very outdated
Mason Dyer to u
How is the i3 an compliance car? It was built from scratch as an EV and sells quite well.
That fridge thing is awesome. So awesome, that I'm thinking of getting an aftermarket one, decent ones go for around $500. The one great thing my car has that Maybachs don't is space between the front console and the rear seat for things like fridges, trash cans, or cargo nets. I'll probably stuff it full of sushi just like the one in the video, but behind those sushi boxes there would be Coke cans, something you won't see in a Maybach. What can I say, I like Coke (no, not that Coke, I don't drive a Maybach you know), and last time I tried Champagne I didn't particularly care for it. The combination of fizziness and alcohol just seemed weird. I'm not particularly poor and I'm pretty satisfied, but yeah I'll probably never own a Maybach. Well actually maybe I will, the good news is its a German car, so in 5 years I'll be able to buy one for less than a used Kia. You know what they say about Mercedes, you know its out of oil when it stops leaking. Seriously, what happened to the Mercedes and BMW of 20 years ago that just worked and basically lasted forever?
Well, this has been an interesting insomnia fueled incoherent rant.
His voice is NICE! PERFECT CAR! I CAN'T WAIT TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD 2 LOL
Not sure why he's fascinated with the center console opening two ways. The S-Class has been that way since 2007.
Holy the base model S coupe is more expensive than the rebranded Maybach
21:29 the owner has his/her own chauffeur, I bet he/she can just tell him to go and buy them anything they want. Brian, I love the way you pointed out unnecessary luxury tech like this one :D
I miss you Brian
Before i forget,the steering wheel,would it be possible in redwood for a better grip,handling?Anyway can you rent the salesman for more explanation on the technology handling,it does look like a beauty,i think i'll take it.
dear cnet,stop hating on s600.
brian cooley's humor :'D
They need to have a coupe of this... two seater.
I'll buy two of these once the damn oil prices go back to 115$ a barrel. but now am stuck with the original poor S400.
that is one beautiful car
MAN YOU ARE GOOD
