I say kill it dead. Saw one roaming around today near Bryant park, and it was still ugly. Rolls are just so much nicer it is ridiculous.
They should take their frosty windows and seats, come out with an S600u (for uber) and stick it all in there and call it a day.

"Rolls are just so much nicer it is ridiculous."
Well maybe if you never look at the front end of the RR. While I like the new RRs back of the grille, the Phantom front ends are garish, vulgar and just plain funny looking to me.
OTOH, both the RR and Maybach are built to ridiculous levels of fit and finish. Maybach is now trimming out cars in marble, in addition to wood, leather and metal trim. I'm guessing that when the SEMA crowd gets tired of color tinted carbon fiber they'll switch to stone to imitate the luxoboats from BMW and MB.

That just reminds me of Clarkson kitting out a Mercedes with cobblestone and a fireplace.
I agree that even the Rolls is a bit over the top, but frankly the lines are just so much better overall. I see plenty of both here in Manhattan, and no question that the Rolls is the nicer looking car, although I am sure the finish is excellent on either.
Then again, I would rather do my own driving and would probably just buy a QP.
