TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2019 Jaguar F-Type blurs the line between sports and touring cars.

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz SL-Class is an icon among luxury cars and convertibles. It's due for an update, but a good idea never gets old.

TCC Likes

Gorgeous interior and exterior
Most models balance ride and handling exceptionally well
Tech upgrades inside

Polished interiors
Rare V-12 offering
Breathtaking performance

TCC Dislikes

Price climbs fast
Turbo-4’s unsportsmanlike snarl
All-wheel drive required with V-8s

Mercedes’ other convertibles are more compelling
At a cheaper price
With more and better tech
