TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2011 Hyundai Equus sets a high-water mark for the Korean brand, and rings like a warning shot to the folks over at Lexus.

The 2011 Jaguar XJ severs ties with its past, and rocks a mod new look that suits its dynamic personality.

TCC Likes

Huge value for the luxury dollar
Real wood, real leather are really convincing
First-class features, in front and in back

Youthful, exuberant styling inside and out
Rippling, muscular V-8 engines
A high-tech playground for drivers and passengers

TCC Dislikes

Derivative looks
Reclining rear seat lacks foot room
Average "green" rating

D-pillar styling: do you have anything other than black?
Back-seat space isn't as spacious as expected; neither's the trunk room
Dash dances a fine line between glamour and glitz
