TCC’s Bottom Line

No matter whether it's a coupe, convertible, or Gran Coupe, the 2014 BMW 6-Series covers soft and elegant as well as it does sharp and athletic.

Had enough with the stoicism and tech overload of German flagships? The 2014 Jaguar XJ is a completely different kind of luxury car, with swinging style, a light, lean driving character, and a wide range of engines--including a new high-performance 550-hp XJR

TCC Likes

Exceptionally quick
Gran Coupe's extra doors
Convertible has well-executed lid

A design like no other
Efficient supercharged V-6
Brash yet comfortable XFR performance model

TCC Dislikes

The scales don't lie
Steering still feels artificial, but better
Head room isn't great, anywhere

A few design details miss the mark
Rear headroom
Brightwork overload inside
