TCC’s Bottom Line

The basic 2014 Audi A7 is gorgeous, yes--but you'll swoon from the heady mix of raw sex appeal and torrid performance in the S7 and RS 7.

The 2014 Infiniti Q70 sedan range is fast, fun-to-drive, better to look at, and comfortable--a world-class combination.

TCC Likes

Ultra-sexy
Handling of a grand tourer, ride of a luxury car
Fantastic multi-adjustable seats

Balanced, engaging handling
Stylish and useful interior
Sensual, stand-out exterior design

TCC Dislikes

Rear seats confine knees
Steers without much feedback
Cargo space isn't great

Rough-sounding V-6
Can be noisy and harsh in the cabin
Adding tech items quickly boosts the price
