Cars that aren't meant to be driven.

[TheApple]

That is, cars that are designed to cater to the passenger, rather the driver. Maybachs and Rolls Royce come to mind, but I cant think of anything else.

I´m not sure about the Maybach. It´s a fast car, so there might be some fun in driving one - I was passed by one going well over 100 mph/160 kph.

Daimler Landaulette springs to mind.

A Maybach is fast, but 100 mph is a pretty normal driving speed.

I worked for an attorney who drove his '06 Phantom all over the place.

He eventually sold it for a Bentley Continental GTC.

What a tough life.

its pretty easy...just look at what limo companies drive. Towncars, Escalades and Navigators?

Conversion vans?

Not really. The Phantom is meant to be driven. I love to be driven around and don't mind the presence of a chauffeur but many people hate to have a stranger next to them.

Back on track, you have the Toyota Century:

Nope, the Phantom line has been intended as a chauffeur-driven car since around WW2, if you know RR history (some before then, but it's a bit murkier). The "Silver" cars (Dawn, Wraith, Cloud, Shadow, Spirit/Spur, Seraph) are the owner-driver range. While a lot of the initial buyers drove them, I've met several that concede its design tends towards an owner-passenger feel.

ls460l/600hl with the rear executive seating package?

The Phantom should be chauffered. The Maybach 57 is meant to be driven. One should be driven in the Maybach 62. Lincoln town car should be chauffered as well.

An old Mercedes 600.

Really? Given the choice between maintaining a modern Mercedes-Benz S600 or BMW 750i that's out of warranty, or a Rolls-Royce Cloud, I'd have to go with the Rolls, which will be less complex by several orders of magnitude.

I don't know why, but I really like this thread.

Mercedes Benz with the Pope package.
