The Genesis G70 surprises in all the right ways, especially in performance and overall value.
The Jaguar XE pits exterior styling and interior refinement over performance, and is almost as much the contrarian’s choice as the Alfa Romeo Giulia.
Everything about the Italian import is fun, from the name to the performance-oriented Quadrifoglio.
Historic reliability problems remain a concern, and the in-car technology is not nearly as sophisticated as the Germans, but Giulia stands out from the other compact sports cars on the block.
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class does not, but has the best interior and features of the bunch.
It does not welcome rear-seat passengers, however.
Forget the Tesla Model 3 as an electric vehicle and you’ll have a luxury compact sedan with questionable build quality, a spartan interior centered on a large touchscreen, and gut-dropping levels of instantaneous torque.
