2019 Genesis G70

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.

Neither did Lexus in the early 90s and the original LS400 turned the luxury world upside down.
Sure it didn't have all the bells and whistles and a thousand options to add like the German cars did, but I think it's fair to say it kicked their *** in many areas despite costing MUCH less.

This is not the 1990s. Go look at them, drive them and you will find out...they are quite decent. 
As their ads once said.......Driving is Believing.

The new G70 is an outstanding vehicle, although I have not driven it. It will be interesting to see how Lexus and Audi respond to the new Genesis G70. It looks like it will do well. Also sat in the G80, G80 sport, and G90.

I've never owned a Hyundai so not sure to expect but I have put down my pre order deposit for a G70.
I've previously owned Toyotas/Acuras and a Mustang.
I've looked at the Lexus IS350 AWD several times, but never ended up purchasing. In Canada a IS350 AWD with Fsport 3 comes in at just over $59k (including tax) The G70 is rumored to be $57k, which brings it up to about 59k after local taxes.
So pricing being almost identical, but the G70 comes with 5 years maintenance, a rear biased AWD platform and more power? Its tough to say no to that. Granted I am assuming the resale value will drop faster on the G70 but it will definitely be a more unique car as well. I am looking forward to getting it!.

Well, double congratulations
.....first, on your (future) new car, and, second, to CL as a first-time poster. I haven't actually seen the G70 yet, but did a full-review on the Stinger, which it is based on. I doubt if you will have very many complaints.

I personally am not impressed with being the first person in the block with a new Hyundai...
I learned my lesson with the LS.. didn't think the discounts will be at 10% within the first 6 months and bought the launch car.

Wouldn't you want to wait a little before buying this car? It'll probably level down to 5-15% discount within 3-6 months after introduction like a typical Hyundai..

Something tells me demand is soft for the new Stinger. Usually when you got a hot product, demand really outstrips supply for the few while. Offering 1.9% is pretty low for a yet to release product.

What do you define as "soft"? A little over 1,300 sales last month does not sound too bad to me. I would expect sales to continue climbing for awhile. It seems that dealers are now stocked pretty well. Once the G70 debuts, it will be interesting to see if that has any affect on the Kia sales. I can't wait to see how they price it.

The official release date for the G70 is April 2018. They started taking pre-orders in January. Only 500 units coming to Canada and customers apparently put down a $1K refundable deposit right up to the day before delivery which they will apparently do right to the customer's door. It's a new car and new brand so Hyundai/Genesis are probably using some incentives like 1.9% financing and 5 year maintenance plan to get people to look at Genesis.
