TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2017 Chevrolet Impala hits the big-car target with handsome lines, composed handling, and on-point connectivity.

For those who don't want or need the Genesis' price tag, the 2016 Hyundai Azera satisfies the near-luxury need for style and features.

The 2017 Toyota Avalon gives the full-size sedan a good name, with its exceptional space and style.
