TCC’s Bottom Line
Whether the 2021 Chrysler 300 is old school or just old, it’s still pretty good. The 2021 Genesis G80 drops the mic with fastback style and fast-forward features. The 2020 Nissan Maxima is a handsome, relatively sporty sedan in an era when fewer people than ever are interested in one.
