TCC’s Bottom Line

With better looks, more efficient and powerful engines, and a less cluttered interior, the 2017 Porsche Panamera promises to be a better carn than the fun sport sedan it's always been.

The 2017 Tesla Model S is unlike any other car on the road for several reasons—good and bad.

TCC Likes

Lumpy look is gone
More powerful
Promises great handling

Unbelievable—even "Ludicrous"—performance
Electric range comparable to regular cars
Network of fast-charging stations

TCC Dislikes

U.S. doesn't get Europe's powerful diesel
Sure to be pricey
Still doesn't have its own design language

Stark cabin
Can be very expensive in top trims
Questionable service schemes
