Mercedes-Benz took what was already one of the best luxury sedans on the road and made it quicker, more efficient and (marginally) less expensive. The only catches here: It's more expensive than its rivals and it fails to look the part from the outside. It also prioritizes passenger space over cargo space almost to a fault. Read full review

You'd be right to expect amazing things from the Mercedes-AMG C 63 S E Performance. After all, it's 671 hp from a small sedan.

If you're searching for the 'ultimate driving' sedan, you should probably shop at a different German dealership. Read full review

The BMW M5 is supposed to do a little bit of everything. The redesigned M5 offers some striking numbers and a great interior, but it has gained half a ton in weight and lost some of its dynamic talents in the process.
