TCC’s Bottom Line

One of the ultimate grand-tourers, the BMW 6-Series stands ready to eat up miles, buyers' budgets, and premium unleaded.

The 2018 Jaguar F-Type is a thrilling sports car with style to match.

The 2018 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class represents the pinnacle of droptop grand touring cruisers. But what does that mean anymore?

TCC Likes

Stunning Gran Coupe
Luxo-barge-lite
Huge range of options

Lovely style inside and out
Great ride-and-handling balance on most models
Lots of available tech

Elegant interior
One of the few V-12s left in the world
No compromises for two passengers

TCC Dislikes

... as it should for $80,000-plus
Not really a corner carver
Low roofline compromises head room

… although that price is rather high at every level
New turbo-4 is light on refinement, sounds odd
AWD a must-take on F-Type R

What about S-Class convertible?
What about AMG GT?
What about E-Class?
