Seen and driven the G70 3.3T. Not as impressed as you were. Found the interior to be a bit ran of the mill and the dashboard reeks Hyundai Sonata right down to the infotainment system. Decent car but probably a far better buy used after the first year depreciation (35-40%) has hit the first owner.

Good effort. I am sure the next gen will be far better. The G70 still six years behind the G20.

And for me a sedan has to offer decent back seat accommodations. With 2 very tall kids is a must.

Close but no cigar. I would take a G20 M340i over the G70 3.3T twice daily and four times on Sunday

Chevy & Ford both stopped making cars, so that's mostly based on trucks and crossovers

I thought you hate the G20 seats?

Just kidding, M340i is an improvement over F30 no doubt, but no longer stands out in the class, and no manual. I'd probably still go Model 3 or C43 or even Giulia (lease) over G70 and M340i but you have to admit that Genesis is putting out compelling products, no matter how much Hyundai hate people have, they are no longer s***boxes of the 90's and are finally cars one would actually consider or want, Albert Biernmann is transforming the brand for the better.

I believe people are given herr Biermann way too much credit. With that said, hadn't been for the South Koreans poaching ze evil German auto executives, they would still be making shit boxes such as the KIA Rondo pictured below. You could still walk into a KIA dealer and drive away in one 10 years ago.

People now days like to shit on German cars but they fawn all over the "Germanic" look and feel of their fire sale Korean facsimiles...

Both Honda and Subaru have suffered quality declines in the last few years.

And before anyone says is because the Accord is made in Marysville, OH truth is Honda has been making Accords on that location since 1988.

But as a former Honda owner, the general look/feel, fit/finish and materials on current day Civics and Accords is appalling. They remind me of Nissan Sentra and Altimas from a decade ago.

Never owned or driven a Subaru so can't comment there.

Isn't JD Power a market-research firm that companies pay into, in order to get said research? And only if you pay into the company are you then eligible to receive these awards?

I've seen mention of this before and have since not given any f***s about them. Have you all seen those God-awful Chevy ads? Lol

But Subarus keep their value. We sold our 8 year old Outback for more than an E350 of the same age and miles was worth.
I don't miss it though.

It says Tesla is a brand new car company. They keep saying that every year even though they've been around for over a decade.

I have a different take on Ford. Considering how we beat our Ford's to death and they more or less run all day between 3 shifts without much rest, the cars/SUV's hold up well. The same applies to the Chevy's in our fleet.

I wonder how our BMW's would hold up being run/operated 20-21 hours a day while never being shut off, driven hard during those 20-21 hours......every single day.

Exactly but I'm wrong. I've had a Genesis before and it was good but I didn't have it long enough as BMW called me back.

The Genesis brand has come a long way and catching up to the luxury brand pretty quick. I still think the inside looks kinda cheap but the quality of the car as far as driving is pretty good. Not fuel efficient like a BMW but still good. It's like thinking of a Hyundai or Kia. Both brands have made huge strides in innovation and technology. Not the POS they used to be.

Lets just hope its better than the 2 previous 550i's we had. The wonderful N63 engine put together is a maintenance nightmare!! But I'm hoping the first year ride will be ok.
