Full Article -> https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews...0-genesis-g70/

BMW
Highs: Big Power from a silken inline-6, big grip, big back seat, and trunk.
Lows: Big price, stiff ride, steering still a bit too numb for our liking.

Genesis
Highs: Strong performer, impressive ride and handling balance, undeniable value.
Lows: Not as quick in a straight line, tight back seat.

In the end, C/D does acknowledge that the M340i is a better driver's car due to its more refined and faster powertrain, and overall nicer and larger interior, but states that may not be enough to overcome the Genesis great pricing, and that overall, the Genesis isn't far behind the 3-Series, being able to do many things just as well or even better than the 3er.


Instrumented test results:

Basically the m340i really won, but the g70 represents a good value. I mean, we're already well aware that the g70 is cheaper. We don't need to read the article to conclude this. In fact why even bother performing an instrumented test comparison if cost is weighed more heavily than performance.

Again c&d, we all know that a Hyundai is cheaper than a bmw.
