    Some of the best looking exterior paint I have ever seen. It really matches this car perfectly. This is a stunningly beautiful Korean sedan. I certainly would not kick it out of my driveway.

    I have a 2022 3.3T. I wish they would've made some of the upgrades that are on the GV70, but I LOVE the combo of technology and analog buttons/knobs. There's something nice about everything not being on a touchscreen.

  • @RCtennis3811

    I wish Genesis poured as much into the G70’s multiple refreshes as they did with the GV70. It’s so easy to just give it the 12.3” digital gauge cluster, the new Hyundai/Kia ccNc navigation system, and even Highway Driving Assist III to keep it competitive with the 3-Series and C-Class. There’s just something about spending $57K for 3-year old tech that won’t be upgraded OTA that bugs me.

    I would def get this over the 3 series. I think it’s much better looking. I know the B/S 58 is better engine but I just love the looks of the G70 so much more. It’s a shame no one is buying them and they’re discontinuing them. Same with the Stinger.

    • @jakesnake1793

      Stinger’s already dead sadly. I owned a 2020 Stinger GT1 till it was stolen. Couldn’t bring myself to get another one after going through the ordeal and bought a ‘22 m340i.
      Stinger is a more unique vehicle overall, and gets a fair amount of attention, not that you should buy one for that reason, was very practical (except for rear seat headroom) and rides better, but the m340i is on another level performance wise, acceleration is very hard in the bmw and handles much sharper. I wouldn’t consider those cars to be competitors because to me they feel very different.
      The Stinger was a great car, very underrated/under-appreciated.

    • @CPMUNSEY
      @CPMUNSEY Місяць тому +1

      @ Yeah I knew the Stinger was already done. It’s sad that hardly anyone bought them because they’re great cars. I know the BMW M340i and all M’s are much better cars performance wise but I just love the looks of the G70 much more. I prefer the F80’s looks over the G80 when it comes to BMW’s. The M340i is an amazing car tho. I’m sure you love it.

    A car with two personalities.
    In sport +, using paddles is almost as fun as a new Vette (I said 'almost' as )fun and very capable in curvey roads. I live in Arkansas and there are few straight roads.
    I love this car and it handles 100+ speed solidly.
    I have driven the latest Corvette and Porsche 911. This is a very fun car and a 100 k kess !
    I love the Vette, but for the money, this'miffed Korean' is my sweet spot.

    Pretty sure the G70 is still a 3.3T Joe. No special edition for the last year? That's odd considering the Stinger had the Tribute edition... In terms of the age, yeah great car and I own one but Genesis hasn't kept pace with the car vs. the M340i. It's time to do a major update or discontinue now.

    Genesis performed poorly here. It was too late to introduce the 2.5T in the G70, as the 2.0T engine felt sluggish. The 3.5 V6 engine wasn't appealing to everyone. Additionally, it lacked some key features, such as ambient lighting and a premium feel, along with basics like wireless CarPlay.
    These small details could have made a proactive impact and turned this well-deserved sedan into a success.
