TCC’s Bottom Line

Spin the bottle, hit the 2021 Audi A5 convertible, coupe, or hatchback, and you’re a winner. They’re all good-looking.

The redesigned 2021 BMW 4-Series has evolved into a technology powerhouse with wonderfully responsive powertrains, but the coupe lacks playfulness.

If you don’t need sedan practicality, the 2021 Infiniti Q60 is a stylish and fairly sporty way to make heads turn.

TCC Likes

Beautiful exterior
Lower price for A5 Sportback
Good interior tech

Responsive, powerful engines

TCC Dislikes

Cramped coupe and convertible
Gets pricey in a hurry
Some colors are a downer

Options add up quickly
No manual, except in M4
Front grille is divisive

Ultra-rare, but maybe that’s good
Hefty fuel economy
Safety tech costs extra
