If there was a supercar, it would be the 2024 Rolls-Royce Phantom. There is a very expensive base model for this Rolls-Royce, a beautiful V12 engine, and a cabin that is unmatched in style and quality of materials.

From the outside, the 2024 Audi A6 looks just like a calm German car should. Its simple but beautiful shape blends in with the rest of the road and won’t get you in trouble at the country club. On the other hand, the compact Audi is not subtle on the inside. It has a lot of technology inside, with two big screens, well-stitched leather, and accurate secondary controls. The car’s opulence and precise finishes show a level of luxury that is missing from a similar BMW 5 Series. On top of that, it drives well.

While the 2024 Lexus LS tries to offer the same high levels of luxury and performance that made the previous models so impressive, it lacks the cohesion and laser-focused execution that made those models stand out. The older generations had a more formal look than the more modern ones you see here. The current car’s interior is still full of high-quality materials, but it doesn’t quite measure up to the competition. A 416-horsepower turbocharged V-6 engine gives smooth acceleration but doesn’t excite the senses. A hybrid powertrain is also possible.
