TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2019 BMW M5 sedan is a high-performance luxury car without compromise and few rivals.

The 2019 Infiniti Q70 continues to offer an interesting option with its long wheelbase, but age has finally caught up to it.

With two new engine options, the 2019 Mercedes-Benz E-Class reminds us that life is good at the top.
