| The Car Connection's Take | |||
| TCC Rating | |||

|
|
|
|
| TCC’s Bottom Line | |||
| With strong performance, good practicality, and respectable fuel economy, the attractively styled 2011 Audi A4 strikes a great balance for an everyday-driving sport sedan. | Stunning performance is still the calling card for the 2011 BMW M3; the weight it's gained may just be a sign of its success. | Attention-getting style, solid driving dynamics, quality materials, and a very competitive price put the entire 2011 Cadillac CTS lineup on level-or-better footing with most of the competition. | |
