Oh I absolutely get the choice for a sedan. Should be a great car. Dig the color too.
Even though it's AWD, will you purchase snow tire package to swap out?

I just ordered a 2023 Genesis G70 3.3T. I'm psyched!

109mph quarter mile as absolutely no slouch. That's a runner wrapped in luxury.
Congrats Bob.
Congrats Bob.
There is one of these locally, same package as yours, but red. It is a very nice looking car I must say.
No.
I guess the simple answer would be it's like comparing Acura and Honda, or Lexus and Toyota. Under the same umbrella but the model offerings are different. I drive a Genesis GV70. Hyundai doesn't make a comparable SUV. I'm buying a Genesis G70. Hyundai doesn't offer a comparable sedan. Same with the Genesis G70. Part of the confusion is that Genesis and Hyundai typically share a dealership, whereas Acura and Lexus have a physical separation. But they are definitely different.....Genesis and Hyundai.
Thanks, Dom. It's no GT-500 (LOL) but no slouch, either. It's not as luxury as the G80 or G90, but does have more luxury than the Hyundai sedans.
When I bought my 2019 G70, I originally wanted that Havana Red. But went with the metallic gray instead since it was almost identical to my old Dark Shadow Gray Cobra. Now, I leaned towards white.
I have always liked a nice white. Especially when a car has nice lines. Just looks crisp.
Congratulations???
Looks good.
Thought they had a 400hp optioned car, but maybe that's the 80 or 90?

No. Any model with push button start is not an issue. It's just the ones that still have regular keys.
The G70 3.3T twin-turbo V6 (luxury small sedan makes 365hp.
The G80 3.5T twin-turbo V6 (luxury mid-size sedan) makes 375hp.
The G90 3.5T twin-turbo V6 with an electric supercharger (luxury full-size sedan) makes 409hp.
I had a G70 and loved it but due to a fall off my roof, I could no longer get in/out of the car. The lack of trunk space was an issue so I traded it in on a GV70. Metallic Black.... I love the quality but my dealership- not so much. Genesis of America told me they are headed for separate dealerships like Lexus.
We have a 2019 G70 and had major paint issues with it. They ended up having to repaint the entire vehicle under warranty, but the headache of the process turned us away. We sold it last year. I hope you have a much better experience! It was a fun car.
No plans for winter wheels/tires. I don't use my vehicles much during the winter months. We usually use my wife's Acura.
Have you noticed a difference (shifting) between your G70 and GV70? That's my one gripe about my GV70. The shifting is too loose for my taste. Nothing like the G70 shifts. Other than that, I've liked the GV70 a lot. I just don't really need an SUV, and much more prefer to drive a performance sedan. The metallic black GV70 paint is nice.
Sorry you had a paint issue on your 2019 G70. My 2019 G70 had excellent paint. It happens. What did you replace it with?
I test drove a '21 on Saturday. I wanted to drive a 2023 3.3T but the dealership didn't have any in stock. Funny think was during the test drive I was mostly happy with the power delivery. And then as we approached the dealership on the return, I realized I was in Eco mode.
I switched to Sport mode and instantly it took me back to my old 2019 G70. Have you tried Launch Control?
You’ll love that drivetrain more and more as your ownership goes on. I have a ‘22 Stinger GT2 and it moves well for a big car.
Funny you should mention the loose shifting!!! My GV70 has that issue but I have only 2000 miles, city driving. I did notice hi-octane gas gave me better miles per gallon...Car goes in for oil change and maintenance, and I will bring that up.No plans for winter wheels/tires.

Congrats & good luck with the new ride..

The Stinger also provides a bit more rear seat room, although it was never really an issue with my old '19 G70.
Where I notice(d) it the most is WOT from around 10mph. The transmission seems to hang up on the 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 3rd as if it's trying to shift. In reality, it is just a very loose/long shift to the next gear. Feels like it's slipping, but I know that's not the case. It does it even in Sport mode. Using the paddle shifters makes the gear transitions better, but I can't use them all the time. This "looseness" started from day 1. I now have 5,500 miles in it.
Thanks Don.
Sounds like a 10R80.... Urg.
and 10R60. Tune fixed that issue but Ford's stock tranny tune is HORRIBLE.
Congrats Bob! Beautiful car! Kia/Hyundai/Genesis dealers have not been nice to deal with in my experience, dealing with them thru relatives was a headache. Hopefully your dealer treats you better.
