TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2018 Jaguar XF lives its best life in Sportbrake form; the turbo-4 emerges here in untested form.

Lexus aims in a completely new direction with its 2018 LC 500 Coupe—and it’s an exciting one.

TCC Likes

Sleek shape; gorgeous Sportbrake
More useful interior and cargo room
Plethora of powertrains

Obsessive chassis engineering
Free-breathing V-8
A 10-speed!

TCC Dislikes

...but infotainment is laggy
No transmission choices
Turbodiesel’s narrow power delivery

Caught between sports car and luxury coupe
Back seat looks very tight
Are ten speeds too many?
