Lincoln MKZ, Buick Lucerne, and Saab 9-5 achieve 'Very Good' overall scores
Three of the six upscale sedans tested for the June issue of Consumer Reports, the Infiniti G35, Lexus ES350, and Nissan Maxima, posted "Excellent" overall ratings. It's rare for so many cars to be scored so highly in a monthly test group.
The top-scoring and sporty Infiniti G35 now ranks as the best car tested by Consumer Reports in the Upscale Sedan category, outpointing the previously- tested Acura TL. The quiet and comfortable Lexus E350 came in very close behind the Infiniti G35. The Nissan Maxima rated somewhat lower overall, though still achieving an Excellent overall road test score.
The test group brought together a total of six very different sedans in the $30,000 to $40,000 range, with varying blends of sportiness and opulence. The more posh models tend to be quieter, have more interior space and ride more smoothly. Sporty models usually have less room inside, ride firmly and handle more nimbly.
