I got a kick out of this article. 
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) - Here's a sales pitch I'll bet you'd never expect for a 20-foot-long $390,000 luxury sedan: "It makes a great gift."
A great gift?
Really, Joseph Horneman, the Maybach Relationship Manager at Manhattan's Mercedes-Benz and Maybach dealership, makes a pretty good case. For busy, stressed out people, the time they can spend in the back of a Maybach 62, swaddled in comfort in their fully reclining -- with footrests -- ventilated leather seats, sipping chilled wine from the built-in refrigerator and basking in the gentle glow of sunlight filtered through the electroluminescent roof....Those moments are precious. Just precious.
