OH..yes, I would most certainly agree with that, but the current Phantom is still an excellent car an if you observe closely the places where the S class excels and the Phantom falls down, they are completely obvious and predictable - taking this into consideration, the Phantom really doesn't do so badly - lets not forget the S class will beat every other four door saloon on the market in a comparison test as well.
The most interesting observation that can be made of this comparison is, going by this test, we can assume that this new S class is technically superior to the Maybach too ..........does this not make the whole point of the Maybach irrelevant? ........unlike the Phantom, the Maybach was intended to, and seeks to be, assessed by the same pragmatic parameters as the S class was.
