please stop being argumentative over a point many have patiently made and shown clear backup for. While you may have found a few dealers, genesis 2019 cars are NOT available in huge swaths of the u.s.
there are NO 2019 genesis in florida right now. Florida has 2/3 the population of canada, so not a small market. Genesis.com shows closest are in GEORGIA with only one of those showing inventory button which doesn't work. Screen grab from actual website:
Brunswick inventory button goes to:

Any premium-brand carmaker worth its salt has, at one time or another, followed the basic blueprint laid down by the BMW 3-series. Genesis's dealers might have preferred that the brand start with SUVs instead. But, by launching a successful effort into such an established, yardstick segment where many have failed before, Genesis gains credibility.
And this Genesis can play. The low-slung G70 is built with the same basic set of parts as the Kia Stinger, but the wheelbase of the Genesis is 2.8 inches shorter than the Kia's, which gives the G70 tight, classic proportions. With subtly flared fenders, a short front overhang, and taut skin, the G70 looks poised. It's sophisticated without appearing staid, sporty without being overwrought.
Its styling neatly telegraphs the G70's comportment, and it successfully delivers the difficult balance of competent performance and driving satisfaction without jiggling its owner's latte into too great a froth. The loaded-up 365-hp V-6–powered Sport model delivers big speed plus progressive, predictable handling and confident transitional responses. And the electrically assisted variable-ratio steering matches the suspension tuning: precise but comfortable. More than just quiet, the G70's interior is a genuinely pleasant place to spend time. That's particularly true in higher-spec models with cosseting quilted-leather seats in a spot-on driving position. The goodness is not restricted to the big-engined car, either; the four-cylinder version with nonadjustable dampers is just as satisfying, although the six-speed manual transmission that can be optionally bolted to it is not.
The G70's comprehensive excellence is impressive on its own, but pricing that substantially undercuts the usual suspects makes it that much sweeter.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 28, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the 2019 Genesis G70 was named a top-three finalist for 2019 North American Car of the Year (NACTOY). This is the first time that a Genesis model has been nominated to the most selective round of NACTOY judging and testing. Earlier in the year, G70 was named one of 14 semi-finalists; the winner will be announced at the North American International Auto Show this coming January.
2019 Genesis G70 luxury sport sedan named a North American Car of the Year top-three finalist.
"We are thankful to the NACTOY jurors for recognizing the inherent qualities of the G70," said Manfred Fitzgerald, Executive Vice President and Global Head of the Genesis Brand. "We are also delighted to see such a dynamic product resonate well with our clientele across the world."
"We are humbled by the NACTOY jurors' recognition of the G70 at a very important time for Genesis in the United States," said Erwin Raphael, Executive Director of Genesis Motor America.
NACTOY jurors, composed of an independent panel of journalists and analysts based in the United States and Canada, have recognized top cars, trucks, and utility vehicles since 1994. This year's jury of 54 represents legacy newspapers and magazine experts, broadcast veterans, digital columnists, and freelancers.
The 2019 Genesis G70 luxury sport sedan resets benchmarks and expectations in its class for the holistic integration of leading performance, refined luxury, and aerodynamic style. G70 is the third of six new Genesis models to debut by 2021 and the final sedan of the lineup. As the first Genesis model in the highly competitive entry-level luxury segment, G70 outperforms legacy luxury sport sedans with driver-focused performance.
Genesis Motor America, LLC is headquartered in Fountain Valley, Calif. Genesis is a global luxury automotive brand that delivers the highest standards of performance, design and innovation. All Genesis vehicles sold in the U.S. are covered by an industry-leading warranty with enhanced roadside assistance and concierge services.

I did the same and was also very impressed. Every single one of Genesis' vehicles that they had at the show was impressive inside and out from a design standpoint, material choices, build quality, etc. Can't say the same about each Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, etc. that I saw. Seriously, there's a reason these cars are winning awards all of a sudden. Go Genesis!
but i guess that's on the dyno, so not quite so impressive without any wind resistance!

if it survives, it might be true in 20 years.. for now, it is bleeding red for Hyundai that is also doing terrible. So whatever they are doing is not actually working out for them.
