Why should I also consider these?
The Audi A4, also new in 2009, is a front-biased, all-wheel-drive-biased sedan just like the TL, but Audi goes to great lengths to move its mass rearward and successfully crafts it into a sportier, more engaging drive.
BMW's 3-Series is the benchmark for the class due to its fantastic ride/handling combination, but it's not as roomy and doesn't offer the same dollar-for-dollar value.
The Cadillac CTS presents as strong a styling statement as the TL, yet does so in a more appealing way; its well-sorted, rear-wheel-drive chassis, great powertrains, and sumptuous interior complete the CTS's compelling package.
Looking somewhat outside the traditional box and starting in the low $30,000 range, yet with an interior that's sized within inches of a Mercedes S550, the rear-wheel-drive Hyundai Genesis sedan is the clear value leader here, but soft handling means it won't win the driver's vote.
The Volkswagen Passat also brings strong value and a stylish interior to the table, but like the TL, its front-wheel-drive setup doesn't give it the performance many buyers are seeking.
