TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2017 BMW M4 is a near-perfect performance coupe that can be hugely rewarding to competent drivers.

The 2017 Infiniti Q60 is all about the looks—and they're worth every penny. The dramatic coupe looks great on the road and in person, with a broad spectrum of powertrains.

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class adds to the impressive roster with a convertible version this year and a newly minted AMG C43 version. Bavaria is even better now.

TCC Likes

Twin-turbo inline-6 can rev for days
Available optional paint colors can be stunning
Demands perfection...

Stunning profile
Very good interior materials
Great Bose sound system

Drop-dead drop-top new this year
Good looks everywhere
Plenty of powertrain options

TCC Dislikes

Engine wail isn't wholly satisfying
Drop-top version is $8,500 more
Rearview camera is buried in needlessly expensive package

...but could use better stoppers
Finicky dual touchscreen setup
Isn't as spacious as some

No manual transmission
Can get expensive in a hurry
Cramped rear seat
