Why I Keep Two Mercedes (The Practical Exotics)

Here's what people don't realize about Mercedes: a G63 AMG or Maybach is more usable than any supercar we rent. They're fast, luxurious, practical, and you can actually drive them daily without hating your life.

We keep two: a G63 AMG in green and a Maybach sedan. Both are at opposite ends of what Mercedes does well. The G63 is an SUV that does 0-60 in 4.5 seconds and looks like it belongs in the military. The Maybach is a luxury sedan that makes Rolls Royce nervous.

The G63 is for people who want SUV practicality with legitimate performance. Five seats, cargo space, aggressive looks, and 577 horsepower. It's the most popular luxury SUV in Miami for a reason. Everyone from athletes to business owners to influencers drives these.

The Maybach is for people who prioritize comfort and luxury over everything else. It's a Mercedes S-Class taken to the extreme: longer, more luxurious, more expensive. Chauffeur-driven or self-driven, it's the car for important occasions.

Miami makes sense for both because we have the weather and the lifestyle that matches. The G63 works everywhere from South Beach to Brickell to Wynwood. The Maybach works for weddings, corporate events, airport service, or just looking like you have your life together.

The Real Questions People Ask

"Is the G63 actually fast or just a big SUV?"
It's legitimately fast. 577 hp, 0-60 in 4.5 seconds, AMG V8 that sounds great. It's not GT3 handling, but for an SUV it's shockingly capable. Plus it seats five and has cargo space.

"Will the G63 get attention?"
Yes, especially in green. G-Wagons are everywhere in Miami but people still notice them. The green stands out. If you want lower-key, we have other options. If you're fine with attention, the green G63 is great.

"Is the Maybach better than a Rolls Royce?"
Different. Rolls Royce has more prestige and brand recognition. Maybach has more technology and slightly better value. Both are excellent. Comes down to personal preference.

"Can I use the G63 for practical stuff?"
That's literally what it's for. Airport runs, shopping, beach days, group outings. It's an SUV. Just a very fast, very expensive SUV.

"Do I need a chauffeur for the Maybach?"
No, but it's available. Most people drive it themselves. Some book chauffeur service for weddings, corporate events, or airport pickups.

"Which one should I rent?"
G63 if you want the SUV utility, aggressive look, and performance. Maybach if you want maximum luxury, comfort, and smooth ride.

Mercedes Maybach S-Class Sedan
