This is a seriously needed feature on this car. Was hard to drive the g80 for a while with it then not have it.

Only other gripe compared to the g80 is the infotainment screen integration and controls. Would prefer it built into the dash with a control knob in addition to touch screen.

All depends on the car. It was actually super handy to avoid handling the trunk by anyone avoided a lot of scratches.

The back seat is a whole different game, just the front dash, dunno why they have to keep it dated

Been following the G70 for a while now, after driving it, if you're not a brand whore, I don't see why anyone could choose a Mercedes C43, Audi S4 or BMW 340 over this car. It drives like the Germans in this class, destroys them in straightline performance (matches C43) for a lot less money. Can't wait till I try it again on summer tires. Like benyl mentioned, even on winters you can get a good sense of how the car rotates.

Ran it with my E53 and it was pretty much even from 0-100. At freeway speeds, the E53 is just a tad faster, but really, it's negligible unless you're on the track. The G70 is more than enough on the streets, and passing on BC highways.

Always been impressed with the G70, opinion completely solidified after driving it.

I saw one in the wild, dark grey with dark wheels, and it looked great on the road. Hope to see more!

I sold Mibz on it. And I still haven't managed to buy one.

It's something that it gets in the way and slow when you have it but feel totally peasant when you have to got back to slamming trunk lids.

Key is when paired with foot activation.

If you don't care about the stigma of driving a Hyundai, great value for sure. I'd drive one but I can't get over the front end; not my cup of team.
I'm not a label whore but I have to like looking at it.

I like these a lot and I'd be very interested in these if they had decent lease rates - last I looked they were really high. In a 2-3 years they should make an excellent bang for the buck used option too. I am kind of hoping they don't sell well and get some incentives haha. Closest competition is probably a Q50 Red Sport which after incentives were $48K last year - not shopping anymore so I am not sure if Infiniti still has that promo or not but it lasted most of the year in 2017/18.

[Cagare]

The lease rate was 1.4% last month. Did it go up quite a bit? Residual is not great, but that rate makes the lease pretty attractive.

I haven't looked in a while so if anything it probably went down. I don't think it was 1.4% when I looked last but I could be wrong. I also think the residuals made it a non-starter as a lease option, for me anyway. When I have some time I will check it out again. If I recall correctly, the payment wasn't a lot different than the more expensive vehicles (Audi / MB) because residual was so bad.

Been keeping an eye on this thing too and glad to hear your's and Benyl's positive impressions in the wild.

[civic_stylez]

I would definitely love to try the G70 out. Its the only one of the Genesis brand I haven't tried/owned. Im seeing a lot more of them out on the roads now.

Infiniti blows them out every August and on with massive incentives. It’s crazy, they were still getting new 2018s arriving through July and August. I don’t know who would buy one before August. It’s $10k plus of incentives. Typically, it’s an overstock problem and factory dumps incentives to help dealers clear inventory for next years model, and they adjust production and allocations based on that. Infiniti seems to just crank out as many as possible.

Call them for a test drive. You don’t go to them. They come to you. No excuse not to just beat on one.

Rate has dropped from 3.9% to 1.4% and it's a bit more competitive now.

A fully loaded G70 is $690 vs a bare bones C43 @ 3.9% is $780 but a equally equipped would be in the mid $800s. But it not hard to get 2.9% on loyalty or under 2% during clearance.

So you have to tell yourself if that badge is worth $200/mth.
