The Car Connection's Take

8.6
TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2015 Audi A6 may look a little sedate, but it's a brilliant performer–thanks to its diesel-driven TDI, the supercharged A6, or turbocharged S6 versions. The 2015 Cadillac CTS sedan is a stunner–especially in V-Sport guise–and it looks great, too.
