When the latest generation of the Mercedes-Benz Sonder Klasse (“Special Class in German) was launched last year, media outlets around the world announced it as being the “best car in the world,” just like they did on each of its predecessors.

This didn't stop the peeps from Autocar India to pit the latest S-Class against the Rolls Royce Ghost and the Bentley Flying Spur, despite the fact the German sedan costs only a fraction compared with the two Brits.
