TCC’s Bottom Line

Though aging, the 2016 Infiniti QX70 still offers an appealing mix of sporty dynamics, coupe-like looks, and luxurious appointments.

The 2016 Lincoln MKX makes good progress in its battle for luxury credibility, with sharp acceleration and style to accompany its gulp-worthy price tag.
