Reviews SummaryFor 2017, Audi continues the design, engineering, and technological shift ushered in by last year’s all-new TT sports car. This year, the A4 sedan, the Q7 SUV, and the R8 supercar receive complete redesigns, with the A5 coupe arriving soon. To date, though, it's the best-selling A4 model that clearly lights the path to Audi’s future, and while the illumination cast by the popular sedan is bright, there are a handful dark patches for the company to address. | |
Reviews SummaryIn almost every respect, the redesigned 2016 Kia Optima is the standard-bearer of the midsize family sedan segment. From its exterior styling and interior design to its safety and infotainment systems, the new Optima is firing on all cylinders. Plus, in Optima Turbo spec, and with a single exception, this car is great to drive. | |
