I have the 3.3 AWD... best car I’ve ever driven. People regularly stop me and compliment the car; it happened just the other day too; some kids shouted “nice car, man”. Beautiful car, it drives amazing, excellent power and acceleration and luxury interior. It’s a little bit small in the back, but I didn’t buy mine to be a family vehicle, so its not a big deal.
Yeah I agree, my baby bro has this vehicle, amazing vehicle. This car is not only fast and handles great, it feels luxurious as well. Fun, fun car, he has rear wheel and you can easily get the back end to get out on you.
I bought a 2020 Stinger AWD 3.3TT--they are world class cars for the price.Plus they did what most car companies should do.Make a few great engines instead of 20 diffrent unreliable ones--like the germans.They made this engine bulletproof--and it is very very fast for what it is.I had tested an SRT while looking for a car under 50k and figured I would not find one--especially with AWD (that would be under 50k).The stinger was my last drive and I was sold after the test drive.The 3.3TT is almost as fast as an american V8 in a straight line.BTW I also got mine for 36k--19k after my trade in.I mean for 19k I own a modern AWD 167 mph GT Car with a 10 year warranty.My last car was a honda crosstour and the KIA interior is as good as that and the buttons are tight and have a honda click to them.It is also very easy to drive--very very solid--and a tremendous hi speed cruiserPlus I have money in the bank to only get premium fuel and take care of the car.BTW a semi synth oil change was only 50 dollars.I plan on getting the oil changed at 3k because I put low mileage on it anyway and might as well keep the oil clean with 2 turbos.I have owned and driven an array of cars--have some on my channel--and for under 45k--there is nothing better--especially if it has no problems mechanically--which it gets a good rating from JD power and a service tech says they never have them in and none in for major repairs like a turbo failing.
Literally had mine delivered yesterday. Got probably a record low deal on a lease. Was struggling between the G70 and the Stinger GT. Both are wonderful but I don't anticipate having many people in the back and the Stinger stands out a little too much; genesis doesn't scream "hey I'm fast, look at me" and is gorgeous inside
I had the same issue. It was between the Kia GT 2 and Genesis 3.3 L Rear. Althought for some reason the Kia GT 2 was more expensive than the Genesis G70 top of the line with AWD. I thought the Kia GT 2 has some plastic interior that resembles the Kia Optima/Hyundai Sonata type of material and for almost 60k, that was unacceptable. The G70 did not have plastic materials and for 51k, it was the better choice and i do not regret it one bit. I would consider the GT 2 later in the future for bette price as i feel it will be less than 40k in three years.
@@cobi2502 > It does. Back of the driver's seats are plastic. Don't get me wrong. I've got G70 AWD 3.3TT elite+prestige on Labor Day and I'm very happy with it.
I now have 15,000 miles on mine its a 2019 3.3 sport. I still love driving this car. I have had a lot of cars in my life , getting out of Genesis Coupe 2013 and a 2016. I started car owning back in a 1978 a Z28 Comaro, loved that car. But by far this is the most fun i have ever had driving a cars i have owned. So if your thinking about one just test drive it. And you will see what im talking about , have fun.
I Can’t wait to get mine this week!!! Freaking love it! I was gonna go with Mercedes, but I test drive G70 and fell in love! Great review!! If anyone’s wondering I was comparing the Mercedes A220 to Genesis G70. I have G70 for a month now and still get that adrenaline rush every time I accelerate and drive the car. Highly recommend if anyone wants a high performance luxurious car that not a lot of people own 🙂
I test drove a loaded C43 amg sedan which is a direct competitor to a G70 (also test drove the G70) and I didn't look back after signing for the C43. The G70 is an excellent sports sedan and is very nice but the fully loaded C43 is just way too well above it in performance and styling.
No, I actually own a 2021 advanced trim base model, and the headlights are full LED unlike the 2019-2020 advanced models that have different headlights which means for the advanced trim at least they changed 1 thing about it.
@@caglioso I agree, and seeing as I've driven the 2.0t and 3.3t pretty extensively, the performance is top notch. Can't wait to test the 2022 with the newer 2.5t and 3.5 t.
Great all-arounder. Was about to buy the 2.0 rwd MT. Was able replace my Mazda 6 MT for a Minivan and a 2020 MX5. Let me just say, there are really good deals on new cars now. I am very blessed with the security to be able to swing these purchases in these crazy times. Great review as always.
I own the 3.3T Sport. The brakes are NOT manufactured by Brembo. ONLY the calipers are. Everything else is Hyundai. However, the calipers are awesome. BTW LOVE this channel. Long time subscriber.
Finally, a guy who doesn't just take everything for face value. None of the shit comes out of a true Brembo factory, none. It's all built to "Brembo spec" though. LOL
Excellent Video! I just picked up a 2021 3.3 and it’s amazing! One thing I noticed in mine vs. the 2020 is that they’ve eliminated the engine auto start stop while driving. Maybe you mentioned this in your review. If so my apology. Also if you notice the start/stop cancel switch that is in the 2020 by the shifter/drive mode selector is taken out of the 2021! Small but appreciated upgrade for me. Thanks for doing this review 👌👍
Does the genesis remember the start/stop feature is off when the car is turned on and off? I know the stinger will activate the feature even if turned off every time the car is started.
I love that Coupe, wish Hyundai would have kept that around. I have a 2015 sedan that I been trading in for the last 20 months, just can't seem to let it go. My baby bro has this one, and all though a fantastic and fun car, just a little to small for me.
Genesis nailed the exterior. I hope the refresh doesn't diverge too much from the current model. I've seen several renderings of the 2022 model, and I'm not happy about the exterior changes, although they're just renderings at this point. Genesis wants to make the entire lineup consistent, so the G70 will likely fall in line with the GV80 and the new G80 sedan. I think both vehicles (GV80 and G80) look great, but I don't think an even bigger grill will look good on a vehicle that's substantially smaller compared to the vehicles I mentioned. Also, the headlights will look different and they will resemble the headlights on the G80, which, in my opinion, doesn't look as good as the current model because they look bug-like. We'll see once the 2022 refresh is officially unveiled. Genesis really doesn't need to change much. Just add the digital cluster like you suggested, and for me, make the rear turn signals full LED. That's all. Depending on the changes, I'll likely opt for a 2020/2021 model instead of the 2022, yet-to-be unveiled refreshed model.
Well they decided to have family look for all of their models. Like genesis g90 have little weird looking because it still is facelift model, and g70 would be too. Nobody knows yet how long we have to wait for all new genesis g70 and g90, but I expect to them to have better look for those models. And you should know that whenever g70 didn't revealed yet but rendering people said g70 looks horrible just like new rendering on these days. We gotta see the real one so let's wait until September because that's the d day for facelifted g70 will be revealed.
Not a bad option. A fully optioned 3 series or Audi or Merc would be 10-15k more, and if you factor in depreciation, this makes sense as a daily much more. Use money saved on depreciation, maintenance costs,etc... and get a weekend car with the savings.
I love her ! this is prob my next lease black with a premium red driver seat cover . I am waiting because I want to drive the new and last ct4 v Blackwing . thx for the great review GP !
I have a 2020 AWD Stinger GT 3.3TT and I am at 23 to 25 mpg--and yes it requires premium.The car is actually fast with just the V6--in the summer right now i only use the turbos on the HWY--both to keep the reliability and fuel mileage High.When it gets colder out i will go somehwhat faster--the cold air is goo for turbos--summer heat air is not.These cars have exceptional str8 line performance.
I've never understood why the G70 was priced much higher than an identically equipped Kia Stinger GT Limited? There's an $8000 CAD difference in price (MSRP) between the 2020 AWD G70 3.3TT Sport and the 2020 AWD 3.3TT Kia Stinger GT Limited (both higher trim models with identical Hyundai powertrain). I drive a 2018 AWD Stinger GT Limited and love it. If the G70 would have been priced more closely to it, I might have considered it, although I love the hatchback space in my Kia.
Motor Trend compared 11 compact luxury sedans, Tesla Model 3 was #1, Audi A4 2nd, and G70 was 3rd. If driving range, ease of fueling up matters, the G70 was in the top 3.
I want to drive this to compare with an AMG C43. I used to own a C43 and regret selling it. I would not mind this if it feels and sounds nearly the same as the C43.
@@chigasaki06 This G70 has a very similar power output to the C43 amg. That's why I was very specific. I would not throw in the mix any other proper M or AMG cars.
If you are interested in getting this vehicle, get it NOW!! Genesis G70 FL is coming out in Korea at the end of this year. It is disappointing (of course everyone has different taste in looks). Rear looks terrible and the front looks just like G90. According to what I read, the newer one will have the same engine (this however may change if Hyundai/Genesis solve the major headaches that they are having now with their new 2.5 and 3.5 engine. They probably won't until next year) , platform, and transmission as the current one.
I don't understand why these are considered Luxury cars. The interior barley looks better than some older Sonatas and the exterior slight better than some Kia's.
Hopefully they’ll redesign the key fob with the 2022 G70 refresh. Key fob looks like the old Hyundai/Kia fobs from 7yrs ago. Also remote start would be a nice added feature on key fob. So surprised it’s not standard.
I'm starting to think the G70 3.3 AWD should be my pick within the 4 choices I narrowed down my search to. It's either I buy a 2.0T Sport Accord with manual transmission because I still like like driving a stick shift a lot (currently owning a 2010 civic SI and getting a bit old for the VTEC yo) OR I go the entry luxury sedan (and all wheel drive) path with the Acura TLX, the Lexus IS 350 or the G70 Sport. I know I can get the G70 with a manual trans but I can't go RWD in snowy Canada. Honestly if the Accord was AWD I think there would be no hesitation. And the fuel consumption on the G70 seems a bit high! These are just thoughts, feel free to share your experience with any of those cars! :)
I got a 2020 AWD Stinger GT 3.3TT for 36k. These cars are fantastic--fast and the AWD system is world class.I rent high end cars--german mainly on trips and the KIA/Genesis AWD system is def worth the money.Ran a 4.27 to 60 at the drag--12.79 quarter mile with no launch control--and have also driven in a downpour with an inch of rain on the road and car was safe and flawless--I was able to easily keep the speed limit in the rainstorm.With the few k I saved I have an exhaust and replaced all my rotors with cross drilled geomet on ALL 4s.Stinger is a hair more sportier and I believe slightly lower.There are no major problems on the forums and I am almost at one year and not a hiccup--interior and quality is on par with honda--which is fine with me cause I do not like shit to break down--car is solid.
3.3T engine is fine, but the 2.0T engine is plagued with issues. The upcoming new G70 will have 2.5T instead of 2.0T, but keeping 3.3T instead of the new 3.5T on G80/GV80.
Thanks GP! Great review! Based on your detailed review, I just purchased this car and love it : ) I agree... the Adaptive Suspension makes for a much smoother ride... amazing! However, one key point I would add to your review in regard to Apple Car Play, it must be tethered... it is NOT wireless like many other manufacturers (ironically Hyundai Santa Fe & Elantra's have it!)... this was almost a deal breaker for me as it essentially renders Apple Car Play useless... who is going to take their phone out of their pocket and plug it in every time they get into the car? Keep up the great reviews : )
So Genesis now has one main person of from Audi and Mercedes. That’s why there’s a similar look. I currently own a Audi s3 but the cost of maintenance is way more than a genesis. I’m buying a g70 this week.
Just the LED lights has changed and that's it... My sonata 2020 has led..and yet their interior is more spacious... ambients lights...all digital gauge clusters....gear shift buttons... bigger infotainment system ...And just looks more modern than any Genesis here in the US anyways... I'll save money to get the 2022 Genesis and will definitely be the one standing out 🙏
Could you name the any Global Brand with country which oriented? Beside than follow? cuz i just wanna know... USA: Apple Tesla GM Intel Google Ford Amazon Walmart Chevolet Microsoft AMD Goldmansachs JP Morgan etc... Japan: Toyota Lexus Honda Accura Nissan Infinity Mazda Sony Softbank South Korea: Samsung LG Hyundai Kia Genesis Pasco SK?

I probably missed a lot of it! so could you please name the global brand (which every people Know in the world) and country both please?
If you live in the U.S. this is indeed the 2021... our remodel is going to be the 2022 model year. You can check any dealerships website in the U.S. for an example 👍
@@goldpony Looks like it is correct, though some sources are telling people tat the '21 will get the updated design. I guess we will have to wait until 2022
3.3L AWD MSRP > 48k? I understand it's Genesis, but still a Hyundai. At that price point with discounts, you are better off with the reliability and brand of for e.g. Lexus IS or Acura TLX Aspec
What are you looking for? You expect similar performance and features, but only want to pay 10k for it? LOL. Using your logic, the Lexus is still only a Toyota, the Acura TLX is still only a nicer Honda Accord, and Infiniti's are nicer Nissans, and Lambos/Bentley are nicer VW's....and the list goes on. As for reliability, the brand is rated in the top 5 for reliability. In fact, the engine used has been in existence for several years. Of course Genesis doesn't have the longevity of other luxury brands, but they already have a lot going for them.
2020* Stop click-baiting. It's 2020 so how come this can be a 2021 model? Are you in the future? The only time that is possible when it's a brand new facelift or generation. Also, you put NEW in the description when this is not a new model. Imagine if someone in 2018 said "2021 Genesis G70 review", by your logic that's acceptable.
@@meenamjah Maybe dumb dealers do this as 'marketing' but no manufacturer themselves does this unless its a new model. When you say "next year's model" you're indirectly implying that it is a different/updated/new model which in this case of the Genesis, it is not. Unless it's a new or facelifted model, you don't claim a car to be from a year in the future. The car was manufactured in 2020, and it's the same as the 2019/2018, to call it a 2021 model is outrageous.

how is the AWD system on this car? Is it competative to Audi or is it front drive biased?
Justin Fontaine Awesome. The handling is really good. Although its AWD, you can definitely feel power coming from the rear

You should be a car salesman, that is a compliment! This car is amazing price wise and value.
I believe the “2021” model is still the 2019-2020 models-left overs. The 2021-2022 reface is different and improved google it.
That's for Korea. The facelift will probably be here for the 2022 model year.

Genesis nailed the exterior. I hope the refresh doesn't diverge too much from the current model. I've seen several renderings of the 2022 model, and I'm not happy about the exterior changes, although they're just renderings at this point. Genesis wants to make the entire lineup consistent, so the G70 will likely fall in line with the GV80 and the new G80 sedan. I think both vehicles (GV80 and G80) look great, but I don't think an even bigger grill will look good on a vehicle that's substantially smaller compared to the vehicles I mentioned. Also, the headlights will look different and they will resemble the headlights on the G80, which, in my opinion, doesn't look as good as the current model because they look bug-like. We'll see once the 2022 refresh is officially unveiled. Genesis really doesn't need to change much. Just add the digital cluster like you suggested, and for me, make the rear turn signals full LED. That's all. Depending on the changes, I'll likely opt for a 2020/2021 model instead of the 2022, yet-to-be unveiled refreshed model.
Well they decided to have family look for all of their models. Like genesis g90 have little weird looking because it still is facelift model, and g70 would be too. Nobody knows yet how long we have to wait for all new genesis g70 and g90, but I expect to them to have better look for those models. And you should know that whenever g70 didn't revealed yet but rendering people said g70 looks horrible just like new rendering on these days. We gotta see the real one so let's wait until September because that's the d day for facelifted g70 will be revealed.
Not a bad option. A fully optioned 3 series or Audi or Merc would be 10-15k more, and if you factor in depreciation, this makes sense as a daily much more. Use money saved on depreciation, maintenance costs,etc... and get a weekend car with the savings.
I did the same for BMW.
It would be. like you said, $10K-$15K more.
Love my 2019 genesis g70
I dont know why they dont put led cluster on US version. that makes a pretty huge difference to me.
Me too 😏
Would be nice as a coupe. Lose the rear doors and seats and have a ton of room in back.

Such a well made video. I’m picking mine up on Wednesday! Thank you for this
so the 2021 genesis doesn't get the updated motor options that the 2021 stinger is getting?
They changed the engines to require premium now? That was a selling point of the earlier models being cheaper to fill.
It always required premium fuel.
I own 2019 Genesis G70 3.3.T
It's in the manual .
Their turbo and 5.0 v8 always needed premium. Only the 3.8 takes regular. Now you van put regular on the v8 but you lose some power.
Blake Neyland small price to pay for a lifetime of smiles tho right?

it's more like 5k difference. I'd still get g70 over the stinger
Great car - but I prefer the Stinger.
g70 is just a better car.
Is this official the 2021 will not be the mid-refresh with infotainment update and new engines? Was hoping 2021 rather than 2022.
Correct... Refresh will be coming on the 2022 model year 👍
my next car will be G70..can I trade my 2012 hyundai elantra in for G70 ?
Great review. Very detail. Thanks!!
Deciding between a G70 or a tesla 3 performance. Thoughts? Can't decide. Love them both!
Damn dude same here. I say wait though. New electric vehicles will be coming out as competitors to model 3 and model y.
Get the g70 bro
Yeah its .8second slower to 60 than the 3 long range but the interior and exterior are way better

This is not a AMG or M competitor, so you may have to look elsewhere.

This G70 has a very similar power output to the C43 amg. That's why I was very specific. I would not throw in the mix any other proper M or AMG cars.
It won't pop and cracks like amg does unless you modify it. If you dig the exhaust sound maybe check out Veloster N?
I was looking at the C43 as well. Nicer but HUGE differences in warranty and also annual maintenance costs.
If you are interested in getting this vehicle, get it NOW!!
Genesis G70 FL is coming out in Korea at the end of this year. It is disappointing (of course everyone has different taste in looks). Rear looks terrible and the front looks just like G90.
According to what I read, the newer one will have the same engine (this however may change if Hyundai/Genesis solve the major headaches that they are having now with their new 2.5 and 3.5 engine. They probably won't until next year) , platform, and transmission as the current one.
I don't understand why these are considered Luxury cars. The interior barley looks better than some older Sonatas and the exterior slight better than some Kia's.
Great review! Thank you.
Hopefully they’ll redesign the key fob with the 2022 G70 refresh. Key fob looks like the old Hyundai/Kia fobs from 7yrs ago. Also remote start would be a nice added feature on key fob. So surprised it’s not standard.
Dec needs remote start. He'll they think of everything else. No biggie tho my new house has a garage !!!!
The "what is up guys" in the intro was edited pretty uniquely to match the music
Great Review, Brutha! Is this a Luxury version of the Sonata-based frame?
I absolutely agree
This is not the new G70 coming out next year which does not have the boomerang vent on the side. I guess that will be the 2022 model.
Can't wait for this to depreciate so I can get one for 25k
Have a 3.3t Sport RWD, overall its a great car, gobs of torque anytime you want. There is no better value in this class.
I like how the caption for the exhaust demo is 'music'
I'm starting to think the G70 3.3 AWD should be my pick within the 4 choices I narrowed down my search to. It's either I buy a 2.0T Sport Accord with manual transmission because I still like like driving a stick shift a lot (currently owning a 2010 civic SI and getting a bit old for the VTEC yo) OR I go the entry luxury sedan (and all wheel drive) path with the Acura TLX, the Lexus IS 350 or the G70 Sport. I know I can get the G70 with a manual trans but I can't go RWD in snowy Canada. Honestly if the Accord was AWD I think there would be no hesitation. And the fuel consumption on the G70 seems a bit high! These are just thoughts, feel free to share your experience with any of those cars! :)
power!! more power!!!! g70
Don’t compare an Accord to this beauty there’s no comparison.
@@ferntin4479 I went for a TLX in 2021 and will probably sell it in the spring and go for a G70 3.3t.
whats wrong with the tlx?@@sleepwalker2112
Thank you for this review. Just finished paying off my car and now looking for a toy car. This one is def on top of my list
I got a 2020 AWD Stinger GT 3.3TT for 36k. These cars are fantastic--fast and the AWD system is world class.I rent high end cars--german mainly on trips and the KIA/Genesis AWD system is def worth the money.Ran a 4.27 to 60 at the drag--12.79 quarter mile with no launch control--and have also driven in a downpour with an inch of rain on the road and car was safe and flawless--I was able to easily keep the speed limit in the rainstorm.With the few k I saved I have an exhaust and replaced all my rotors with cross drilled geomet on ALL 4s.Stinger is a hair more sportier and I believe slightly lower.There are no major problems on the forums and I am almost at one year and not a hiccup--interior and quality is on par with honda--which is fine with me cause I do not like shit to break down--car is solid.
Keep it up man
2021 new model is not yet out in mkt
It is actually you can check the website for the dealer if you like & check the VIN 👍
Gold Pony my bad .. probably the face lift g70 2021 is expected later next year or 2022
10-year warranty, that's pretty good, damn.
They show cased the 2022 face-lifted model, this model is already outdated.
He also made this video 6 months ago. I'm sure it's not out an available yet.
I love the look of this car. All but the rims. They need to offer more options on those.
I love the rims.
I love rims on my car.
They not like in this review.
They looks like a spider ☺
Release date for the 2021?
3.3T engine is fine, but the 2.0T engine is plagued with issues. The upcoming new G70 will have 2.5T instead of 2.0T, but keeping 3.3T instead of the new 3.5T on G80/GV80.
What kinds of issues on the 2.0T?
Where did you go to get those intro shots? I don’t live that far and wanna get some for mine! You made the car look incredible!
Haha thanks! Rocky Ridge County Park in York 👍
Thanks for testing the sound system
My goal is to get this🙏🏽
Is this genesis is a compact sedan?
Yes the G70 is a luxury compact sports sedan.
Which genesis is a midsize sedan?

I suggest not showing the face angle when showing the steering wheel road more pleasing to the eye
Thanks god I found u b4 buying car!!! Plz review Mercedes GLA
Hey great video!...Is the android auto wired or wireless....
This or Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti?
Thanks GP! Great review! Based on your detailed review, I just purchased this car and love it : ) I agree... the Adaptive Suspension makes for a much smoother ride... amazing! However, one key point I would add to your review in regard to Apple Car Play, it must be tethered... it is NOT wireless like many other manufacturers (ironically Hyundai Santa Fe & Elantra's have it!)... this was almost a deal breaker for me as it essentially renders Apple Car Play useless... who is going to take their phone out of their pocket and plug it in every time they get into the car? Keep up the great reviews : )
Too noisy inside, they missed it up when they didn't make it as quite as the G80 (even though its an old generation car), such a shame
S4 or G70???? I’m conflicted.
G70 or Lexus IS?
g70

They’re awesome cars. I would seriously buy a hyundai now than a honda, toyota or nissan (was a nissan fan but car sux now)
Awesome car I want it in Europe
Are you going to do the 2021 GM SUV reviews?
I find this hard to believe that this is a 20121 model G70?
This or Acura TLX Type-S
Yes
Of course this
I was thinking the same thing. Went with g70
0-60 for the 2.0T need to be under 6 sec.
Face inspired by an Audi and rear by a BMW but still a nice car
So Genesis now has one main person of from Audi and Mercedes. That’s why there’s a similar look. I currently own a Audi s3 but the cost of maintenance is way more than a genesis. I’m buying a g70 this week.
6.9 second 0-60 for the 2.0? My Stinger with the same engine is about a second quicker and it’s heavier
G90 does it in 5.3 and it weighs almost 5k lbs.
How fast this test drive accelerates below 0-100km/h..., aless than 6.0 per second?.🤔
Car & Driver got a 7.7 second 5-60 mph in the G70 2.0T, the slowest in this segment. A Honda Accord did 5-60 in 5.9 seconds.
I am too tall for this vehicle, so I will never buy it, but It is the best-looking car in my opinion.
I want that car
Nice review
Thanks!
Just the LED lights has changed and that's it... My sonata 2020 has led..and yet their interior is more spacious... ambients lights...all digital gauge clusters....gear shift buttons... bigger infotainment system ...And just looks more modern than any Genesis here in the US anyways... I'll save money to get the 2022 Genesis and will definitely be the one standing out 🙏

old grill?
2022 model year has the refresh for this one
Gawd. Ellen loves you. Let it go.
AWD? RWD?
This one was AWD but both AWD & RWD is available 👍
0-60 in 6.9 *n o i c e*
This isn’t the 2021 model cause I have the 2020 g70 and I’m waiting for the 2021
It is actually...the refresh is coming for the 2022 model year 👍
Isn't this the 2020 model?
@Daniel Hernandez thanks for the info... dissapointing though... I was hoping for a refresh...

I probably missed a lot of it! so could you please name the global brand (which every people Know in the world) and country both please?

U did not mention the main one, SPAGHETTI ☺
This is not the 2021 model in this video. It’s the 2020. I know because I have one 😎💪🏻
If you live in the U.S. this is indeed the 2021... our remodel is going to be the 2022 model year. You can check any dealerships website in the U.S. for an example 👍
Sounds... "wonderful."
yes, it does
Title is very misleading, as this is NOT the 2021 I believe.
It is actually... Look on the dealership website. The 2021s are currently out 👍
@@goldpony Looks like it is correct, though some sources are telling people tat the '21 will get the updated design. I guess we will have to wait until 2022
Great video man! Miss seeing the mustang GT
haha I have a few more videos of Stangosaurus coming but I've got it pretty close to where I want it at this point! haha
@@goldpony lol. I understand. Do you plan to upgrade or trade it in or do you plan to keep it a bit longer?
Not sure... I have a new day job now where I'm going to inevitably drive it in the snow so we shall see 😁
I hate it when these vidios say my g70 is less than perfect.
This or the stinger gt2..... Hmmmmmmmmm help?
Stinger for me. Both great.
Scotty says NO to turbo!
He is too old and lazy to fix turbo thats why:)
Can you get the manual with the V6?
Unfortunately no
3.3L AWD MSRP > 48k? I understand it's Genesis, but still a Hyundai. At that price point with discounts, you are better off with the reliability and brand of for e.g. Lexus IS or Acura TLX Aspec
What are you looking for? You expect similar performance and features, but only want to pay 10k for it? LOL. Using your logic, the Lexus is still only a Toyota, the Acura TLX is still only a nicer Honda Accord, and Infiniti's are nicer Nissans, and Lambos/Bentley are nicer VW's....and the list goes on. As for reliability, the brand is rated in the top 5 for reliability. In fact, the engine used has been in existence for several years. Of course Genesis doesn't have the longevity of other luxury brands, but they already have a lot going for them.
Why are you guys ignoring the upcoming TLX Type S 🤔
BUT it is not a G80 tho...
2020*
Stop click-baiting. It's 2020 so how come this can be a 2021 model? Are you in the future? The only time that is possible when it's a brand new facelift or generation. Also, you put NEW in the description when this is not a new model. Imagine if someone in 2018 said "2021 Genesis G70 review", by your logic that's acceptable.
In the U.S. this is a 2021 actually... 👍
it's quite common to have the next year's model come out near this year's end
@@meenamjah Maybe dumb dealers do this as 'marketing' but no manufacturer themselves does this unless its a new model. When you say "next year's model" you're indirectly implying that it is a different/updated/new model which in this case of the Genesis, it is not. Unless it's a new or facelifted model, you don't claim a car to be from a year in the future.
The car was manufactured in 2020, and it's the same as the 2019/2018, to call it a 2021 model is outrageous.
