Why title says S680 and poll says S650? What is difference between two?

Let's agree to disagree on this one....More understated? Maybe. Better and more bespoke? I'm not sure

Ok.
I don't understand what Mercedes is doing in this poll...
Bentley looks much better inside and out for me than RR. But the gap between these two cars is too obvious. Rolls is much bigger and cooler.
Had an opportunity to compare previous Phantom with Maybach 57. The Phantom was better only in one area - showing off. Everything: seats, comfort, spaciousness, quietness, tech were better in Maybach. But the problem was that the car was not special enough.
Today for me the name "Maybach S650" is no less stupid than marketing shit that is called "Mercedes 43AMG".
P.S. I am 90% shure that S-class has better seats and seating position, especially in the rear, than new Phantom. I don't see much difference from the older one.

I would say the most opulent car is the Rolls, but for me personally the Bentley is more desirable. I was standing next one this weekend, the facelifted model, it's beautiful. The Rolls though is more over the top and nothing with 4-doors is more steeped in prestige. The Roller is the ultimate symbol of wealth.

Haha, please... Nice try though. Let the Phantom do it's thing.

To give a little better perspective on what @BigBenzGirl 's opinion, the interior of the Mulsanne was noticeably better crafted than the Phantom 7. Things might change with the Phantom 8, but the Mulsanne still holds it's own.
The Mulsanne definitely attracts a more conservative clientele. Because Rolls-Royce is the ultimate symbol of wealth, the nouveau riche crowd want to be see in them.
I see all these press photos of middle-age men in suits be chauffeured or driving, yet nearly all Rolls-Royces I see in major markets are driven by athletes or young people in the entertainment industry. And they love their selfies with their heads tilted to show off the "RR" monogram.
Soon I'll be seeing brand new Phantoms with 24'-26' rims and a wrap, whereas that is less likely with the Mulsanne.
