Car & Driver 2019 10Best "Inadequacies:" Quick blurbs on the cars that didn't make the 10Best list this year via /r/cars

Car & Driver 2019 10Best "Inadequacies:" Quick blurbs on the cars that didn't make the 10Best list this year

In the print edition of Car & Driver, January, 2019, they dove into the year's 10Best cars list. They also had a small section in the margins of the 10Best feature called "Inadequacies." In this section, they gave a quote for each car that was up for 10Best contention, but didn't make it, briefly summarizing its shortcomings. Lots of interesting insight, if you ask me! Remember that Car & Driver has a full set of tests they run to select their 10Best cars, many of them on a track, so it's not just a group of editors sitting in a room and picking which ones they like best. So, here they are:

Audi A6: "Way more luxury than sport here."

Audi A7: "It's like Audi tried to make a Tesla Model S out of a gas-powered car. Needs more sound and fury. But I guess that's what the S7 is for."

Audi RS5: "The RS5 used to have a howling V-8 and gobs of personality. This one feels sedate in comparison."

BMW i3s: "Even in its marginally sportier guise, the BMW i3 continues to be as far as you can get from the experience of driving a car while still driving a car."

BMW 640i xDrive GT: "Drives like a hockey arena."

Buick Regal GS: "The name vastly oversells its performance."

Buick Regal TourX: "Less than the sum of its parts, attractive though they are."

Honda Clarity PHEV: "As far as the effort to remove all sensory traces of dynamic motivational activity under the hood goes, this thing is a champ. The ultimate anodyne driving experience."

Honda Insight: "What to buy when you really want a Prius but can't bear to look at one."

Hyundai Accent: "There's an awful lot of competence here for the money. Not necessarily much joy but an awful lot of competence."

Hyundai Veloster: "The N splits the difference between a VW GTI and a Civic Type R without being better than either. And like all Velosters, this one is still burdened by its economy-car ethos and weird design."

Jaguar XF Sportbrake: "It's handsome as all get-out, but the interior isn't as nice as it should be, the powertrain is not as refined as it should be, and the chassis isn't as fun as it should be."

Kia Forte: "Manages the strange trick of looking cheaper than it actually is."

Lexus ES/Hybrid: "Was the dashboard designed to win a bet? It is more terraformed than styled, with various vintages of switchgear and instruments."

Lexus LS: "I'm startled by how removed from the driving experience this car has become. Like changing lanes from your bed."

Mazda 6 2.5T: "Very refined but doesn't feel sharp. This has me worried that Mazda is starting to walk away from sportiness in favor of luxury."

Mercedes-Benz C-Class: "Much improved but still not as satisfying as the E-class."

Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class: "No longer better looking or handier than the E-class, so I fail to see the point."

Nissan Altima: "Rental-car desk agents should see a dramatic decrease in arguments with disgruntled customers."

Nissan Leaf: "A car that is crying out for automation to remove the irksome requirement to operate it."

Porsche Panamera: "Breaks Porsche's rule of functional design. Who thought that air vents that can have their direction changed only through a touchscreen was a good idea?"

Subaru WRX STI Type RA: "A relic from Subaru's Brutalist period, it's the antithesis of what 96 percent of its customer base values: It's loud, harsh, and busy. It's also incredibly fun, especially on gravel."

Toyota Avalon/Hybrid: "It exists for cruising the mega-slab, but there are no interstates on the 10Best loop."

Toyota Corolla Hatchback: "Good enough to make the 10Best list -- in 2008."

Volkswagen Jetta: "If the Golf is the sibling that lives in the suburbs, pulling down good scratch and maxing out its 401(k), the Jetta is the poor relation sheltering under a cardboard box at the bus station."

To clarify, there were a couple other vehicles that didn't make the list, but were close enough that their acknowledgements were less... mean. The Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio was well-loved by nearly everyone, but had so many issues that needed to be serviced when they had one long term, it was basically out of the running. The Tesla Model 3 Performance did very well too, but since it starts at nearly $80k, it was very hard to justify its value vs competitors. The Audi RS3 was on the 10Best list last year, but this year there was no way they were picking it over the M2 Competition, which has better performance and an improved ride vs its non-Competition predecessor, leaving C&D to look at the RS3 less as a threat and more as "a really expensive, really powerful VW Golf with a really small trunk." Harsh words. The Kia Stinger GT almost made the list last year, and the Kia Stinger 2.0T almost made it this year, but the Genesis G70 better captured the hearts of the C&D editors. The Camaro was bumped from the list by the newly-refreshed Mustang, not necessarily because the Mustang is the clear winner, but because Chevy's 2019 "refresh" of the Camaro gave each trim a new grille and not much else, preserving issues with livability in the cabin in the name of exterior design. And finally, Dodge brought some Challengers to the 10Best competition, for the third time in five years, but all they've done each time was add more power to a car that hasn't been fully redesigned in about 10 years.

Finally, here's a reminder of the 10 cars that did win this year:

BMW M2 Competition

Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport/Z06

Ford Mustang GT/Bullitt

Genesis G70

Honda Accord

Honda Civic Sport/Si/Type R

Mazda MX-5 Miata/RF

Mercedes-Benz E450/AMG E53

Porsche 718 Boxster/Cayman

Volkswagen Golf Family

Best Memorial Day Car Deals for 2020: Huge Markdowns on These New Rides

We’re experts on a lot here at MotorTrend, but when it comes to data-driven analyses on the best new car deals, we leave it to the pros at IntelliChoice. For more than 30 years, IntelliChoice (a part of the MotorTrend Group) has been honing its craft, making the lives of car buyers easier by researching the best certified pre-owned programs, best new-car overall values, and the best deals.

IntelliChoice shared with us the best car deals around the country this Memorial Day weekend so we can share them with you.

More Memorial Day new car deals:

Best Memorial Day SUV Deals for 2020: Sport Utility Value

2020 Chevrolet Bolt EV

Chevrolet is offering a massive $8,500 rebate on its electric hatchback. At nearly 22 percent of the Bolt’s base price, the discount is proportionally the largest on our list. The car was impressive enough to take home our 2017 Car of the Year award when new and has even more range for 2020. Its ride quality isn’t the best in the segment and it won’t charge as quickly as a Hyundai Kona EV but those flaws are much easier to swallow with an $8,500 discount.

2020 Jaguar XF and XF Sportbrake

There’s nothing quite like a handsome British luxury sedan, and Jaguar has big deals on the XF this weekend (and until June 1). You can score $9,000 off four-cylinder XF variants and $11,000 off an XF S with the supercharged V-6. We adore the simple, elegant lines of this Jag, and its taut ride and excellent steering make it one of the most fun cars in its segment. Oh, and you may be able to negotiate quite a bit more off the Sportbrake wagon. 

2020 Kia Optima

Among Kia’s offerings this weekend are significant discounts on the soon-to-be-replaced 2020 Optima. For Memorial Day weekend through the first of June, Kia has $3,500 on the hood of the Optima LX and SE or $4,000 off the Optima EX, S, and SX. Although the current, fourth-gen Optima doesn’t feel like a premium step forward the way its predecessor did, the midsize sedan still offers a quiet comfortable ride, great infotainment, and strong value, especially with a choice discount.

Dodge Challenger

Dodge is offering discounts across the board for its old-school muscle car. Everything from the V-6 AWD Challenger GT to the 797-hp Hellcat Redeye Widebody sees big rebates, from $3,050 off the 305-hp GT to $7,970 off the 797-hp Redeye variants (get it?). We appreciate the way the Challenger knows what it is: a big, heavy, power-forward muscle car that looks the absolute business. Especially with a fat discount, we’d love to add one of these to the driveway.

Chrysler 300

If you’re in the market for a Chrysler 300, you can score a $3,250 rebate this weekend on the comfy cruiser. It was much improved with the addition of an eight-speed automatic for 2018 but the interior is as dated as the second-gen 300’s 2011 introduction would suggest. That said, it’s one of the last large American sedans and a few thousand on the hood certainly sweetens the deal.

Kia Sedona

Families need discounts as much as anyone and Kia is offering $4,000 off its Sorento minivan. It’s one of the more stylish vans on the market, inside and out, and it proved exceptionally usable during our year-long loan a few years back. Sure, the newly revealed 2021 Toyota Sienna looks impressive, but Toyota isn’t the automaker putting an extra $4,000 in your pocket.

Acura ILX

The ILX is already Acura’s least expensive offering and it becomes even more accessible with the $2,200 rebate available this Memorial Day weekend and running through June 1. Acura gave the ILX a refresh for 2019 with restyled sheetmetal, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, and a suite of active safety equipment. With the help of that rebate, this is a great opportunity to join the luxury car landscape without spending too much cash.

Fiat 124 Spider

Fiat is offering a $2,000 rebate on the purchase of a 124 Spider. Yes, it’s a rebodied Mazda MX-5 with a turbocharged Fiat engine, but that’s a recipe for a pretty enjoyable roadster. The recently updated Miata is compelling, but you’d never catch us complaining about a ride in a front-engine, rear-driver convertible with a manual transmission.

Jaguar XE, XF Sportbrake dead after 2020

Jaguar on Tuesday confirmed the demise of two vehicles in its U.S. lineup.

The XE is Jaguar’s BMW 3-Series fighter, and even though it was updated for 2020 the changes made to the car haven’t been enough to ignite sales. Just 3,551 were sold in the U.S. in 2019, and the figure for 2020 is…

Report: Jaguar to Trim Lineup to Cut Costs

UPDATE: Jaguar has confirmed that the XF Sportbrake is here to stay. “The current Jaguar XF Sportbrake remains in the lineup and is available at retailers and for ordering, including for the upcoming 2020 Model Year which should be announced soon,” a Jaguar spokeswoman said. “This should be good news for wagon enthusiasts.” The automaker clarified that in the long term, vehicles and features that are less popular will likely not make it to the U.S.

Jaguar Land Rover is looking to cut costs amid a 281-million-pound loss in the fourth quarter of last year. To return to profitability, the automaker is trimming its lineup, and it looks like the Jaguar XF Sportbrake could be one of the vehicles in jeopardy—here in the U.S. that is.

According to The Detroit Bureau, the Jaguar brand will cut models that it no longer sees as economically viable, and that includes wagons in the U.S. We reached out to Jaguar Land Rover to confirm exactly when we can expect the XF Sportbrake to disappear on our shores. We’re sad to see it leave after having been introduced here less than two years ago.

Jaguar is also getting rid of manual transmissions after 2019. The Jaguar F-Type loses its manual option for the 2020 model year.

Additionally, Jaguar Land Rover is rethinking diesels due to slumping demand in the U.S. and Europe. And the cuts could extend further in the future. If the market continues to shift toward SUVs in favor of coupes and sedans, “We have to ask [which products] make sense anymore,” Joe Eberhardt, head of Jaguar Land Rover North America, told The Detroit Bureau. One model that could be in trouble is the XJ flagship, which was rumored to go electric in its next generation.

Amid the current market shift, Jaguar has a car-heavy lineup. But it now offers three crossovers: the E-Pace, F-Pace, and I-Pace. The E-Pace and F-Pace together make up a whopping 70 percent of Jaguar’s sales, confirms Eberhardt.

“The good news is that we have the product,” said Eberhardt. “The question now is how we react on the downside with cars that are not in demand.”
