TCC’s Bottom Line

If you don’t need sedan practicality, the 2021 Infiniti Q60 is a stylish and fairly sporty way to make heads turn.

Svelte, sporty, and somewhat understated, the 2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class should be at the top of your compact luxury sedan shopping list.

TCC Likes

Stylish bod
Strong engines
Good ride

Ferocious AMGs
Coupe, convertible, or sedan
And not an ugly one in the bunch

TCC Dislikes

Ultra-rare, but maybe that’s good
Hefty fuel economy
Safety tech costs extra

So, so much money
Small back seat and trunk
We’d like a wagon
