TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2018 Genesis G90 is the modern interpretation of a luxo-barge—and it’s a great value, all things considered.

The 2018 Lexus LS 500 sedans don’t reach for the same performance limits as the LC coupes, but there’s ambition in every line.

TCC Likes

Among the best-riding cars ever
Hushed, silent operation
Strong engine choices

Eye-grabbing interior
Interesting exterior
Lots of rear-seat space

TCC Dislikes

Limited brand cachet
Fun to drive? Nope
Design isn’t terribly distinctive

The V-8’s gone
Lots of intentional drivetrain noise
Bounding air-sprung ride
