TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2019 Mercedes-Benz SLC-Class splits its mission between top-down cruiser and top-up thrill seeker. The 2019 Porsche 718 may never be the champion of the automaker’s lineup, but it’s a champ everywhere else. The 2020 Porsche 911 improves upon the sports car icon’s incredible performance while adding needed safety and connectivity features.
