TCC’s Bottom Line

The looks of a coupe, the performance of a sport sedan, and the cabin and features of a true luxury car are all here in the 2014 Infiniti QX70. Provided you don't expect a lot of outdoorsy ability, cargo space, or a roomy back seat, it'll leave you charmed.

The 2015 Porsche Macan swings for the crossover fences, with Cayenne performance in a more tidy, somewhat more cost-effective package.

TCC Likes

Frisky powertrains
Saucy silhouette
Great handling

Hot accel numbers
Cayenne-like spec sheet
PDK all the way

TCC Dislikes

Too many buttons for some
Back seat slights head, leg room
Shallow on cargo space

Pricing is stiff, venturing into painful
"Five-seater" is really four
PDK-only, if that offends you
