Thanks, Farid! Glad you're enjoying our work! We're doing two episodes a week right now and I don't think we can do any more!

Looks like a amg E class from the side view. The car is a sexy looking beast.. Thx for the vid my friend!!!

@@sterlingking950 glad you enjoyed it Sterling!

I think they went above and beyond with this one.

Put a tune on it and get some big power!

Well said, sir.

So happy for them too. I am hoping they knock out the competition.

Great point. I just bought myself a 2023 G70 3.3 sport prestige and love it. Definitely motivates me more seeing it in the driveway to keep grinding. I absolutely love this car. Can't wait till the break in period is over

@@LegendsPizzaCo CG on your purchase.... How long does the break in period last ??

I prefer this much more than the last Stinger I drove.

Congrats!

Owwww launch edition. Which color? Getting lucky with the matte color. :)

congrats, color on that launch edition is incredible

@@ajtam05 The grey one :-)

Great in person, too. Fit and finish is top notch.

Yeah they did a great job, not as impressive as the G80 but of course this is just a refresh, the GV70 however looks stunning can’t wait to see those on the road, I’m seeing a lot more GV80s on the road and they are just beautiful…

Thanks for watching!

Thanks BP! Hope you like what we do here!

Agreed, this is quite a solid update to G70. I haven't driven IS 350 F Sport, non-F Sport, yes, but I'm curious about the suspension changes with the F Sport bits, so I'm not going to comment for now.

Tunes are already available and the numbers I’ve heard are impressive.

Same here! We’ll do our best with these new school launch events!

The GV 70 is going to knock it out of the park it’s going to become the best seller in no time, it blows all the competition out of the water design wise, uniqueness, performance wise I’m sure it will be fast, but the interior and exterior are just so stunning and unique, gone are the days that Hyundai and Kia and Genesis copied the other luxury makers designs

I’m keen on trying the new Acura. Haven’t scheduled it yet, but it sounds pretty cool.

Thanks, MM! Isn't there a stay home order in effect? Where are people going? I'm out doing my job by myself, which is also apparently 'essential', but where the heck is everyone else going? The last Stinger we drove was a little rough around the edges dynamically. G70 is much more polished. We'll see about the refreshed Stinger in the coming weeks. Stay tuned, as they say!

It's very premium inside and out.

@@BrianMakse that's what I love about it!

Thanks, Erik! Glad you enjoyed. These two are very different and I can see how BMW can justify that price, assuming spec for spec. Plenty of sound mechanical reasons. It's been a while since I've driven M340, so I have limited recall of that drive. For 99.9% of drivers, however, they won't care about the extra bits that make the BMW more interesting from a dynamic perspective, but rather they will care about the badge. In terms of driving satisfaction, they're on par.

Yeah, there are a lot of similar shapes across different cars if you look close enough! Veloster N is brilliant, isn’t it?

@@BrianMakse it was really good! (I see the resemblance as I owned a 2009 M6 a long time ago)

No kidding! Tell me about the tune!

@@BrianMakse Yeah, it's like the hulk version of the car. 550+ ft-lbs, 450+ hp.. Maybe more. 0-60 using Dragy is 3.6s (3.5 1ft rollout) - and most importantly drive-ability is still great. Torque limiters are removed. You could drive it if close to me!

@@SlipAngleG70 Sounds awesome. I'm not much of drag guy, but I'd be keen to experience that torque! Are you anywhere near Toronto or So Cal?

Copy that. Didn't Ontario close the border to Manitoba?

@@SlipAngleG70 any more info about the build. Bolt ons? JB4?

No. I’ve been the central Florida many times and you don’t need awd, but boy, do I have stories about central Florida!

It's the Sports Performance package that has Brembos, and a few other features. It's about 5 or 6 grand more for top of the line 3.3 V6

Hey Cameron, you’re right. It’s an incredible value. MotoManTV gets into that kind of context more than I do, but it’s very compatible and attractive. I’m probably wearing my DJ in that episode. Rock solid daily, that one. Keeps ok time, too!

The price for TLX Type S would be much higher and ride will be extremely firm and unrefined. I would choose G70 AWD 3.3T Sport anytime!

Did an extensive test ride on both bro. Finally, booked the 2023 Genesis G70 3.3T AWD. Best Bang for Buck

Good question, Paul. Have you chatted with the tuner? That’s great news, btw.

Can you imagine if they do a tuned version of this, Troy? The platform has potential. I’ve heard of customers already doing tunes and getting over 500hp. M lost its way almost immediately after Biermann left, didn’t they?

What did he say?

@@BrianMakse Exactly what I posted

You’re in the wrong category if you need trunk space. 330 has a tiny trunk, just tested one.

@@BrianMakse I don’t need a lot. I’m a golfer so that’s what I need it for. I know this segment isn’t going to give a lot of trunk space either way but is the genesis a lot smaller or is it pretty comparable with 330i?

I don’t think either are suitable for a full bag unless you pull your big sticks. I never do dimension checks, but both trunks are small. G70 might have more volume if memory serves.

@@BrianMakse I’ll check em out, love your channel keep it up 👍

Thanks, Vito! It’s like they had the junior designer on that job.

That’s the new exhaust on the top V6 model.

@@BrianMakse nice! I have a stinger GT thinking about trading for new g70 launch edition.

The Launch Edition is $2k more in Canada. In which market does it cost another $10k? To be fair, G70 is a low volume product now that the SUVs are here and will move buyers over from other brands. I don’t think it needs to be bleeding edge. The replacement certainly does, however.

@@BrianMakse US market. On their website. The full digital display is not "bleeding edge" when it's on Hyundai products. The Sonata & Elantra have the upgraded frameless rear view mirror and stalks yet their luxury sport sedan don't.? It's a fun car to drive don't get me wrong. Had one as a loaner while my wife G80 Sport was being serviced, but the only real upgrade is the exterior. The interior is not on par with the new G80, GV80 or GV70. Hopefully everything we saw on the GV70 is as is when it hits dealerships.

You nailed it. Drift mode and launch control are circus tricks, and 99.999% of drivers will never use them.

​@@BrianMakse Hey, I drove this on some of the mountain roads in San Diego county a couple of weeks ago. This thing really handles twisty and tight curves very capably, despite its weight. Drove the same stretch of road 3 times, the first two with the traction control on. The car did not bite me after I turned it off, which was nice. I like it on a mountain road as much as the 2020 Civic Si, which I traded in to get the G70. And this one doesn't push as much when accelerating through a curve.

@@BrianMakse Hi Brian. Thanks for answering me back earlier this year. So, since the last time we chatted, I have switched away from the staggered set up, and gone to a square set up. 19 X 8.5 wheels all around, and 255 35/ZR19 tires, high performance all seasons= Continental ExtremeContact DWS06+ . The replacement wheels I got are 20.5 pounds, which is 13-15 pounds lighter than the original Genesis wheels. So, the car handles better, had a lot more cornering grip at the front when I drove it on canyon/mountain roads, and the rear end is a little more tail happy, since the rubber I put on is not as sticky as the original Michelin PS4 tires. The car feels a bit more lively this way, and definitely more enjoyable to drive. These all seasons also ride better than the PS4. Why would Genesis start the car from the factory with a staggered setup? In addition to less grip at the front with the 225s on, you cannot rotate the tires front to back with a staggered setup. A bit more expensive over time. Any ideas about why they did it this way, other than that is what the equivalent BMW and Mercedes sedans had already done?

If that's your only metric, sure. Otherwise, nah.

@@BrianMakse OK. That's fair. But the engine is a rather critical component of an autombobile, would you agree?

@@stephenhendricks103 Naturally. However, we didn't cover the two-litre in this episode, did we?

@@BrianMakse That was my point. You and most other reviewers "buried the lead."

Only one to buy is the 3.3t … no one wants a 2.0

I’d it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!

Hyundai/Kia is done pouring tons of money into developing ICEs...

@@BrianMakse Have the same engine in my rear wheel G90. Can sometime spin the back wheels.

I completely fabricated all of the data points in this episode.

Why do you have to do that in the first place? Whether you're correct is another matter.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
