The 2014 Infiniti Q70 3.7 and Q70 5.6 sedans might not set a new benchmark for their class, but they do compete as true equals with the best of the German and Japanese alternatives.
The Audi A6 is fresh and well-equipped, with its own conservative take on style and a plush, detail-focused interior.
The Audi A7 ups the exterior styling ante while matching the A6's quality interior.
Both Audis offer compelling powertrain options, most notably a fun and efficient supercharged V-6.
The Jaguar XF is another good choice, with its rocket-quick 510-horsepower XFR version, or its more affordable, yet well-finished and uniquely styled trims--but it is a bit short on rear seat space.
The Lexus GS isn't as performance-oriented as the Infiniti Q70, but it is well-equipped and tastefully finished.
BMW's 5-Series matches or exceeds the Q70's handling, while offering even more available safety technology; Mercedes-Benz's E Class is perhaps the more formal option, though still sporty in its own right, too, and offering plenty of upgrades and equipment.

Quick Specs | ||||
The 2014 Infiniti Q70 sedan range is fast, fun-to-drive, better to look at, and comfortable--a world-class combination. |
Brilliance takes many forms in the Audi A6: the diesel-driven TDI, the supercharged A6, or the turbocharged S6 all stand out in ways the sedate body doesn't quite match. |
The basic 2014 Audi A7 is gorgeous, yes--but you'll swoon from the heady mix of raw sex appeal and torrid performance in the S7 and RS 7. |
The 2014 BMW 5-Series is simultaneously a classic sport sedan and a technology-packed grand tourer. |
With backseat space as the one caveat, the 2014 Jaguar XF lineup can at once be refined, nimble, and a scorcher of a performer in XFR or exclusive XFR-S guise. |
