TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2020 Mazda 6 gives drivers a last great shot to stay crossover-free.

The 2021 Toyota Camry elevates its family-sedan game with grabby looks and hybrid power.

TCC Likes

Head-turning style
Sharp handling
Impressive optional turbo power

The body still intrigues
Big, buff V-6
Fuel-sipping hybrid

TCC Dislikes

Rivals are quieter inside
No Apple CarPlay on base model
Top trims get expensive

Looks more sporty than it is
Meh base engine
Some styling foibles
