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 Chrysler 300 adds more style, features, and efficiency to an already confident, capable large family sedan.

TCC Likes

The "wow!" moment of Google Earth maps
Interior's strikingly finished
Great fuel economy (2.0T, TDI)

Fresh front and rear styling keeps appeal alive
Eight-speed auto standard across range
Smooth, fuel-efficient V-6

TCC Dislikes

A five-seater for four people
The CVT's a skipper, we think
Audi's own A7 is better looking

No SRT performance models available
All-black cabins on most models can be somber
Dash plastics attract dust
