Did you get a sense of pricing?
I might have to go check it out next time I'm in Mississauga and see it up close, but from what I can tell from pics on the web and yours, the interior parts bin sharing with the Stinger is apparent:
- Gauge cluster
- HUD
- wiper/light control stalks
- secondary lower dash buttons and hood latch
- steering wheel paddle shifters
- steering column cover and tilt button
- cup holders
- NAV screen and software
- USB, charging port, and wireless charging pad
- aluminum pedals
- front seat controls and seat shape
- seat back/netting

The pricing on The G70 will pretty much parallel the Stinger. Low 30's base and low 50's loaded. With the G80 Sport at $55k, thay can't go much higher. I did see on one of KIA's web pages the mention that a 6 speed manual transmission will be an option. Probably just for the 4 cyl. since Hyundai/KIA don't have a manual transmission for anything near the torque of the TTV-6.

If Jill saw one at the mall that's opened, it would be kind of surprising if they didn't have one at the auto show you could sit in.

At the mall again today and right now actually. They will not let you sit in the G70 going forward. Perhaps it is destined for the auto show.
Asked about pricing. They informed me that it will be low 40s to high 50s, this would be in Canadian Dollars. Available March 31st (Guaranteed) as long you leave a deposit. Otherwise you may have to wait until summer as availability opens up.
Salesperson mentions that all Canadian models will be AWD and a 4 cylinder is available.

Strange. The reviews see to be embargoed as well. Car is coming out in 60 days and now reviews. I think it looks great and will definitely be the most successful Genesis product. Lexus and Infiniti should have the most to worry about. Particularly Lexus. Got me thinking, Genesis needs to fast track a cross over, that should do very well.

Is anyone on Car Chat having trouble recently accessing the regular Genesis.com websites? I haven't been able to open them for several days, though I can access the Genesis media-outlets with no problem. I tend to think it's not my computer or Internet-provider, since I'm not having problems with any other auto manufacturer.

No, seriously, it's OK now....but thanks for the advice, everyone.
A couple of technicians from my Internet provider worked on my screen (they can actually do it remotely now, from their station), and, after well over a hour of fumbling around and clicking, found what the trouble was, and gave my router a new IP address. (fortunately, I get free service/support from my Internet provider, so I don't have to pay extra for service-calls like this). I'm not enough of a computer-whiz to know the details (I write about cars, not computers LOL) ...but that solved the problem.

Great to finally get some ballpark numbers. Exactly what I expected for the 2.0T but high 50s is 2-3K more than what I expected for a loaded 3.3T AWD. That would be about 8K more than a similarly loaded Stinger GT Limited AWD which pays for the "free" maintenance/home service and badge.

High 50's doesn't seem unusual for a fully-loaded model in the segment, and it might even be pretty good compared to the German options. Though, I was kinda hoping for a more IS-like pricing range... where it tops out in the low 50's. However I'd expect the G70 to be better-equipped, on average. So it might be worth it.
If you test-drive a Kia Stinger, especially the V6 model, you'll probably get a rough idea of what the road manners of the G70 will be like, though, of course, the G70 will have a more plush interior and (likely) more sound-insulation.
