TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2014 Cadillac ATS puts the Germans on notice in handling and performance, while hitting high marks in quality and comfort, too.

With a hot new look, a Hybrid, some world-first technology, and much-improved cabin refinement--combined with a sharp, eager driving character--the 2014 Infiniti Q50 seeks new sport-sedan believers.

TCC Likes

Powerful, fun turbocharged four and V-6 engines
Balanced, crisp handling
Intelligent interior design

Beautiful new sheetmetal
Much-improved refinement
All-wheel drive on either model

TCC Dislikes

Somewhat snug back seat
Small trunk
Less distinctive than some previous Cadillac design efforts

Why are folding rear seats optional?
Direct Adaptive Steering feels dead on center
Brakes harder to modulate with Hybrid
