TCC’s Bottom Line

Sized, outfitted, and powered like a mid-size luxury sedan but priced like a smaller one, the 2022 Acura TLX is a must-add to any shopping list.

For the sedan and wagon faithful, the 2022 Audi A6 offers a tremendous amount of performance, comfort, luxury, and technology.

TCC Likes

Wonderful powertrains
Great ride and handling

TCC Dislikes

Clunky infotainment
Some interior miscues

Sexier A7 also exists
Too tech-heavy?
