There basically referring to a "class" as a group of vehicles that are similarily priced, have similar features, and perform to certain extents. Though any of those factors may not be as pronounced as others, or may have high differences between the vehicles in the class, they are still in the class based on what features the publication decides to use.

Ex. Class " Cheapo-Cars", or Ex. "Cars with more than 240 HP", or Ex. "Turbocharged vehiles"

Class is determined by interior passenger and cargo area.

http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/info.shtml#sizeclasses
scroll down to "how are vehicle class sizes defined"

Hence a Maybach and a Ford Crown Victoria are in the same class size. My guess is;

S40, Audi A4, 3 series, and C-class are the same
