TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia combines agility and power in a sensuous Italian package.

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is as gorgeous inside as it is outside, and it has moves to match.

Willing turbocharged power

Have it your way body styles

TCC Dislikes

Quick steering not great on highway
Back seat could be bigger
Suspect reliability

Manual would be nice
Hefty pricetag
Rear-seat and cargo space just so-so
