TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2018 Cadillac CTS-V scorches the earth, and leaves the E63 and RS7 with some burn marks.

Plush, safe, and well-equipped, the 2018 Genesis G80 remains a pure luxury sedan, even as rivals get increasingly sporty.

We’re not fans of mismatches, but the 2018 Lincoln Continental’s lithe road manners and retro theming pair awfully well.

TCC Likes

Shocking acceleration
Beautifully composed at speed
Lively, connected steering

Handsome, both inside and out
Warranty, maintenance, valet service
Almost all safety equipment standard

Big on details, low on clutter
A glamorous cockpit
The 400-hp twin-turbo V-6’s world-class thrust

TCC Dislikes

Brash looks aren’t for everyone
Poor IIHS crash-test scores
Back seat lacks rivals’ space

Ponderous handling
Twin-turbo V-6, V-8 not very efficient
Limited cargo space

Is Lincoln an $80,000 thing?
Traditional luxury in a subscription-model era
Front-wheel-drive stance
