TCC’s Bottom Line

Brilliance takes many forms in the Audi A6: the diesel-driven TDI, the supercharged A6, or the turbocharged S6 all stand out in ways the sedate body doesn't quite match.

The Chrysler 300 is loaded with comfort and technology features, and it comes as either a near-luxury sedan, or an monstrously powerful muscle car.

TCC Likes

Very fast (3.0T, S6)
Great fuel economy (2.0T, TDI)
Interior's strikingly finished

Matured styling that's still a standout
Responsive eight-speed automatic
Smooth, fuel-efficient V-6

TCC Dislikes

Audi's own A7 is better looking
Steering isn't communicative
A five-seater for four people

Five-speed auto on HEMI models
Ersatz Bentley Continental look is gone
Dash plastics attract dust
