Just outside of Paris, in the town of Sevres, sits the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures. Inside, you'll find two glass jars containing objects made from a mix of platinum and iridium alloys. One represents the meter, and the other the kilogram. Everything in the world is measured against these two-for lack of a better word-yardsticks. If you didn't see my metaphor coming, it just hit you square on the nose. Meet the newest S-Class, the sixth generation of Mercedes' full-size four-door sedan, internally known as the W222. Bigger, brasher, and packed with more luxury and technology than ever before, the W222 is the latest luxury beast against which all other wannabes will be compared. Despite what Cadillac might want you to think, this is the luxury car standard. Please consider that Mercedes-Benz sold more than 515,000 examples of the previous-generation W221. The question then becomes: How good is this new flagship?
