TCC’s Bottom Line

The image-building 2013 Chrysler 300 is handsome and classy, as well as a proper luxury car or a scorching muscle sedan.

The 2013 Toyota Avalon is more responsive and sophisticated than ever before, without giving up any comfort; and in the new Avalon Hybrid, 40 mpg has never been so serene.

TCC Likes

Matured styling that's still a standout
Smooth, fuel-efficient V-6
Responsive eight-speed automatic

Well-controlled ride
Refined, responsive powertrains
40 mpg (Hybrid)

TCC Dislikes

Five-speed auto on Hemi models
Dash plastics attract dust
Ersatz Bentley Continental look is gone

Luxury-car price, without the lux badge
Spongy brake-pedal feel
Generic taillight look
