The 2018 Audi S6 stands with an impressive hand: quality interior, great performance, functional shape. It's possible to find better examples from other cars, but they all cost significantly more.
Pros Underrated V-8 Well-appointed interior Sharp 7-speed dual-clutch automatic Nimble attitude
Cons Overshadowed by S7 Steering is too light, too quick? Exterior is too conservative More than two tons, and feels it too
The 2018 Audi S6 is a car that pampers as well as it performs. On the inside, this midsize luxury sport sedan boasts a richly trimmed cabin fitted with front seats that can keep you perfectly comfortable for hours at a time. Or hit the gas and the S6's 450-horsepower turbocharged V8 will rocket this Audi to 60 mph in just 4 seconds flat.
PROS Turbocharged V8 provides plenty of smooth, easily accessible power Roomy interior is finished in top-shelf materials
CONS Doesn't handle as well as some rival sport sedans
Pros Strong acceleration Well-appointed interior Generous list of standard features
Cons Sluggish steering Not very engaging to drive Trunk space is on the small side
It's easy to think the 2019 Lexus GS F is the same thing as Lexus' RC F but with four doors instead of two. After all, they both share the same non-turbocharged V8, eight-speed automatic transmission and essentially the entire front end. But the GS F manages to be a far more compelling execution.
Pros Uncommonly rewarding to drive, with outstanding steering Upscale cabin design Great sounds from the non-turbocharged V8
Cons Remote Touch tech interface is difficult and distracting to use Turbocharged competitors ultimately offer more thrust Back seat doesn't fold down
