That car truly does check all the boxes: -Great acceleration -Great handling -Attractive exterior -Attractive and high quality interior -AWD available -Top safety ratings and full safety tech standard -Very comfortable cruiser and daily driver, while also being very capable performance-wise -Heated AND cooled seats (that work well) and heated steering wheel -Android auto and Apple car play -Awesome sound system -Proven themselves to be a high-quality reliable brand -Best-in the biz warranty and they even pick your car up for service. You'd be surprised how many other cars more expensive that can't check all these boxes. Beyond minor nitpicks, there is really nothing to complain about. Just a great bang for the buck.

Amari I just traded my Q50 in for a Stinger which is the sister car of the G70. The Stinger and G70 are light years better than a Q50. There are some pretty great rebates and discounts on these cars as well. INFINITI is struggling right now. Their sales numbers are abysmal and they don’t have any new vehicles except for the QX55 coming out this year. Some dealerships could be in jeopardy of going under if they don’t start improving their lineup really soon. Don’t hesitate to switch away from INFINITI right now.

Thanks for video. I just purchased a 2019 G70 3.3T Sport in October. Let me tell you a story..... That car sat on the showroom floor and every time I visited that dealership, I would always check it out. It’s a beautiful car, but I currently have a G90 so I wasn’t looking to buy another car. When ever they service my G90, they bring me a G70 2.0T. Also, I prefer bigger cars. Then one day, I took my nieces SantaFe to the dealership for an oil change and right at the entrance was a 2019 Genesis G70 with colorful letters written on the windshield. The letters said “$448 a month No Money Down See inside for details”. I thought there might be a catch so I inquired. To make a long story longer, I purchased that G70 that was on the floor. It turns out they were offering discounts to get rid of the 2019 models. I’m very pleased with it. Especially because it looks exactly like the 2020! The only thing I’m going to “ZONK” this car for is every bulb on this car is LED (As it should be) except for the reverse lights and the rear turn signals. John you said that 2020 version had full LED lights in the rear. If that’s true, that’s a good upgrade. I changed those incandescent bulbs to LED anyway and it was fairly easy to do. Now it’s perfect!

This Genesis is a beauty! I've seen a few of these in Atlanta, GA (go figure why not a lot of these babies). They look stunning in real view. I think Kia and Hyundai needs to consolidate their luxury car efforts into the Genesis brand. They've done a phenomenal job of building credible luxury vehicles for much less than other nameplates. Why not focus all efforts into one luxury brand? I think they could take a lot of sales away from even the mighty Lexus and Mercedes.

Just got one. 2 days ago (09/07/2020) GT-70 3.3T Sport Package with all available options. 20-inch Sport alloy wheels with Michelin tires. Brembo brakes. MSRP $53,500. I’ve got it as "special dealer offer" for $47,000 If I got just 30 minutes later I would not get it. I was waiting for paper work, and it where tree other customers interested to get this car. Frankly speaking, when I found this deal on Internet, I was coming to the dealership with one thought in mind "BS". And I was so surprised when they told me "Yes, we have it. Here it is in the show room". I'm sure I got the deal, because other three guys just left. May be dealer would do discount, but they simply do not have another car like this with the same package and engine configuration. I knew that one more dealership around had the same car, but without discount. Today is a first day I brought it to work. Everybody shocked when they so it life on the parking lot ! ☺

If this comes in a night package to blackout the chrome like the AMG, I’ll get this over the AMG 45

She was made 9/2017 so she is 27 months old. 26,400 on her at the time of purchase. I think it’s an awesome deal as well. 🥳. BTW I paid $10K for the ST3. That was a great deal as well!

I'm not going to lie, I had to test drive and inspect a Genesis G90 for the first time 3 days ago and it was seriously impressive. No word of a lie it was damn near as comfortable as an S class. The ride was so damn quiet and smooth and the power delivery was more than acceptable, however this is CLEARLY where those beastly S class' will outshine these any day.
