TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2017 Audi A6 is a stellar mid-size luxury sedan; it's a bit sedate, but still good enough to compete with some flagship vehicles from other brands.

The 2017 Genesis G80 is one of the first new cars from the nascent luxury carmaker, and it's a good leg to stand on.

TCC Likes

Supreme interior
Very good base transmission
A6 Competition model is interesting

Very good base engine

TCC Dislikes

Can be pricey when fully equipped
Rear space can be tight
A7 is just too good-looking

No benefit to bigger engine
Not much trunk space
Design still borrows a little from others
