TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2016 Audi S7 is one of the most beautiful cars on the road today, plus it packs serious performance and abundant high-tech equipment.

The 2016 Infiniti Q70—especially in its long-wheelbase form—poses an interesting alternative to conservative German luxury sedans.

TCC Likes

Brisk acceleration and ample power
Gorgeous exterior design
Elegant interior

Sensual, stand-out exterior design
New extended-length Q70L
Responsive handling, not at the expense of ride

TCC Dislikes

Steering can be a bit vague
Handling reflects the car's considerable size and weight
Can be very expensive when fully optioned

Hybrid powertrain lacks finesse
Not much luxury cachet
Tech features push price high
