The 2019 Cadillac CTS-V is a great example of getting the best of both worlds, serving as a practical companion during the week and turning into a track-day weapon on the weekend.
Pros Supercharged V8's powerful acceleration World-class ride and handling Superior support from optional sport seats
Cons Ride may be too rough for some Tech interface may frustrate Small trunk Less luxurious cabin than those of competitors
The 2019 Cadillac CTS-V is arguably the greatest American performance sedan ever, and we will miss it dearly when it's discontinued after 2019.
Pros Immense power Supercar-like moves Raucous exhaust note Sharp steering
Cons Last-generation fit and finish Poor crash test scores
The 2018 Genesis G90 delivers a spacious and luxurious interior that's backed up by a blissfully hushed and smooth ride. Add a giant list of standard features that will satisfy all but the most tech-obsessed buyer and the option of a robust V8 engine, and you have all the building blocks of a traditional luxury sedan.
PROS Refined suspension smooths out the roughest roads All versions come fully loaded Delivers exceptional level of luxury for far less than competitors Lavish rear-seat accommodations on V8 models
CONS Less refined semiautonomous systems than the competition Limited dealer network and support Interior materials aren't as special as those of rivals
The 2018 Genesis G90 is the modern interpretation of a luxo-barge—and it’s a great value, all things considered.
Pros Among the best-riding cars ever Hushed, silent operation Strong engine choices Roomy, luxurious interior Impressive safety scores
Cons Limited brand cachet Fun to drive? Nope Design isn’t terribly distinctive
With elegant styling and a first-class cabin, the G90 is the Genesis brand’s first attempt at a luxury sedan. Few options are offered; instead, nearly every conceivable feature is standard. Highlights include a 12.3-inch touchscreen for infotainment, adaptive dampers, a head-up display, automated emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control.
Pros Smooth powertrain, posh and quiet interior, compelling value.
Cons Low prestige score, what’s-your-hurry handling.
