TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2018 Alfa Romeo Giulia presents plenty of compelling reasons to jump ship from the “default” sports sedan brands.

The 2018 Infiniti Q50 is powerful, well-equipped luxury sedan that doesn't quite match up to Germany's finest yet.

TCC Likes

So good to drive
Quadrifoglio is almost a Ferrari sedan
Gorgeous styling

Still beautiful following refresh
Red Sport 400's engine is stellar
Hybrid's efficiency

TCC Dislikes

Tight rear seat
Infotainment way behind
Rivals are more efficient

Direct Adaptive Steering isn't great
Still doesn't feel as premium as rivals
