Mercedes-Benz has launched the Best of Benz, which lists what the company thinks are its top 5 luxury cars. The company dug into its archive and decided on what it thought were its best cars, which consisted of the 540K, Mercedes-Maybach G 650 Landaulet, Mercedes-Benz 600, Mercedes-Maybach S 650 Cabriolet, and 300 SLR respectively.
