TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2017 Jaguar F-Type clips the sports-car apex, with extreme performance meets extremely good looks.

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz SLC offers luxurious open-air motoring for buyers who are more interested in weekend getaways than canyon-carving.

TCC Likes

Electrifying styling
Lighter weight, compared to some rivals
A stunning V-8 exhaust note

Tight, refined interior with the top up
More affordable than the SL
Great features—like Airscarf

TCC Dislikes

Prices are rather high, no?
All-wheel drive is a must-take on R variants
Looks better from the rear, if that's a problem

Not sharp enough for some driving enthusiasts
Tight for tall drivers
V-8 is gone
