The Alps separate Italy from Germany, but you’d be forgiven for thinking that the Alfa Romeo came from a different continent than the German “defaults.” The BMW 3-Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and Audi A4 make for formidable rivals, shaped by decades of meticulous honing.
The BMW’s new this year, even if it doesn’t look it.
Mercedes-Benz injected style into the C-Class and it’s one of our favorites for its stellar balance.
The Audi A4 is loaded with tech and has a spacious, well-crafted interior.
Don’t discount the redesigned Volvo S60.
It’s a shrunken version of the S90 that rebooted Volvo and it’s all the better for it.
The Infiniti QX50 intrigues with its trio of potent turbocharged engines, including a right-priced 400-hp flagship.
