The 2019 Infiniti Q70 is a five-passenger midsize luxury sedan with an excellent available V8 that's otherwise showing its age, and it's outshined by more recent competitors.The big V8 adds a lot of character to the otherwise middling Q70, so the Q70 5.6 Luxe is the trim we'd pick. Unless driving in inclement weather is a common occurrence for you, we'd also forgo all-wheel drive.
Pros Athletic, with strong acceleration in V8 versions Large cabin with comfortable seats
Cons Limited small-item storage in cabin Ride comfort suffers with the 20-inch wheels Many driver assistance features are optional Infotainment interface is dated and clunky to use

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

The 2019 Lexus GS is a handsome mid-size luxury sedan with value on its side.
Pros Good value among competitors Fun, fire-breathing V-8 option Competitive fuel economy Handsome looks
