TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2020 BMW 3-Series is back on top among compact sport sedans, even as the competition closes in. Don’t tell the 2020 Genesis G70 it’s new to the luxury sedan game, it’s a genuine contender already. The 2020 Mercedes-Benz C-Class is as gorgeous inside as it is outside, and it has moves to match.
