TCC’s Bottom Line

The aluminum-bodied 2017 Jaguar XF is no lightweight when it comes to nimble handling or rear-seat space.

The 2017 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class is the first of its kind and in need of a makeover. It's still timeless, but it's also time for what's next.

TCC Likes

Sleek and attractive shape
Interior-space gains
V-6 or turbo-4 diesel power

Stunning profile
Good base engine
Might AMG version

TCC Dislikes

Manual transmission on hold
No word on the gas-powered turbo-4
Less distinctive than before

Not very fuel efficient
Cramped rear seat head room
Not much cargo space
