TCC’s Bottom Line

A worthy flagship, the 2021 Audi A8 is thoroughly modern and eminently comfortable.

The 2020 Genesis G90 drops the silly luxury-car pretenses, and puts its smart money down on features and service.

TCC Likes

Smooth ride
Modern and luxurious interior
Thoroughly refined

Value among flagship titans
Buttery ride
Powerful with either engine

TCC Dislikes

Screens galore can confuse
Priced for the elite
Styling may be too conservative

... but can't personalize with options
V-6 nearly as powerful as V-8
In-your-face grille
