TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2017 BMW M2 works hard to keep things simple, and to keep its price under control—and to bring back some of the driver’s seat sensations that have gone missing in other recent M cars.

The 2017 Chevy Camaro is more than just a muscle car. It is now a true sports car, and the new 1LE and ZL1 performance versions only amp up the fun.

TCC Likes

Track-ready handling
Power to spare
Absorbs hard impacts well

Shattering performance in SS form
Tasty Alpha-platform components
Magnetic Ride Control—amirite?

TCC Dislikes

Somewhat austere interior
Interior noise is a constant companion
Ride can get jittery

Will the turbo-4 feel right?
Rear seat is more of a parcel shelf
Styling doesn't distance itself enough from previous generation
