The current Rolls-Royce Phantom. Hideous, especially in person. A big, ugly brick on wheels.

1958 Cadillac - there has to be at least an extra ton of fins and chrome on that beast.

You'd think a Lambo would roll on something other than painted steel wheels.

Nominee for ugliest car: any full-size SUV with over-sized rims and low-profile tires, especially with dinky stock brakes.

707 Jetway Airporter Limousine.

Looks like they started out with a 1968 Toronado and went downhill from there...

the Chrysler is a RR Phantom fake..

You need to drive the Phantom and Chrysler.

IMO:
There is NO comparison, the RR is sinful luxury, the Chrysler, Cadillac, etc, are aerodynamic cracker boxes lacking personality.
Maybach, is the S600, with all the flaws, stuffed into a larger/heavier body, and more electronic junk added.
http://images.google.com/images?q=2010%20Maybach&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&oe=UTF-8&startIndex=&startPage=1&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi

The Phantom says, I MADE IT, AND SHAMELESSLY ENJOY WHAT I HAVE......
