The Car Connection's Take

TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2017 Audi A4 advances its sport-sedan credentials in lots of incremental ways, but the virtual cockpit drops the digital mic. The 2017 BMW M3 is a track-ready sports sedan with an unblemished pedigree that announces to the world: "Ask me what DTM means." With the 2017 XE, Jaguar hopes it's built a better 3-Series. In many ways, it has.
