Thanks all! We have secured the car from the dealer in KY, waiting to see how long it will take. Have a tentative appointment Monday for clear bra for the front.

All assuming that they don’t screw me at the last minute lol

 

I had a rental Genesis G70 2.5T AWD this past weekend. I am thinking about doing one of my usual rental review threads, especially since I strongly considered getting one of these at one point. Just figured I'd post here first while I try to find time to type it up.


Overall, I rather liked it. I was not the biggest fan of the turbo lag on the 2.5-liter, but just about everything else felt nice. It rode well, but maybe not as well as my IS 500, and it was quiet. The steering had some weight to it and felt responsive. It felt like a driver-oriented sedan for sure.

 

The turbo 4 in this C300 feels great.

Another thing. The synthetic leather on the dash is amazing. If the synthetic leather in the S580 looked like this I wouldn’t have to have the exclusive Napa package.

 

G70 is a great looking car. I don't like how they split the headlights in the refresh. The 3.3T was on my short list until the IS 500 was announced.

 

that's a beauty, congrats. you work hard and deserve it! is there anything this one doesn't have that you wanted?

you gave her the finger?

was nice driving a big sedan for the 3 years i had the g90, but i think my days of very long sedans are probably done. i like the maneuverability of a smaller vehicle. obviously rear wheel steering can help!

 

The split headlights are weak, pretty much the entire exterior looks dated. I think the Lexus IS looks SO MUCH better. And the IS has a V8

 

Outside of an IS500, I'd much rather have the G70 than an IS. The 3.3t blows the 2GR out of the water in performance.

My buddy just picked up a 2021 with the 3.3 and it's great. Looks fantastic.

 

As a BMW driver, I have an image to uphold.

 

Congrats! Fantastic looking car and nice spec

 

Congrats, good news for you. Always nice to have a new car and the color combo looks great. As someone else mentioned, any options it doesn’t have that you would’ve wanted?

 

Ayyyyyy! I'm cutting off people as is my duty as an Audi driver as well lol!


(jokes obviously)

 

@SW17LS is picky about tires.
He'll probably replace all 4 a week after delivery on whatever car he buys. Haha

 

Well,,, if we're going to do stereotypes...,,,
​​​​​​I'm still driving like an old man in my old RX330. Haha

 

I don't understand what cutting someone off exactly does? It just shows that the other driver got the best of you. same with flipping the bird, that says a lot about a drivers maturity

 

Peak Audi energy is going full launch at a 2-1 merge after a light against a K5, then when they catch back up and start flashing their lights and flipping you off you just raise the rear sun blind....

Absolutely EPIC rage ensues, all because he thought he was fast enough that I couldn't outpace him and get in front. He learned
