What vehicle will be a worthy replacement for your sedan when it is time?

He said it fell off above 6k to the 6500 redline... not 5500. I thought that sounded low.
Edit: would be nice to know exactly where and how much, this is simply one man’s impression. Short shifting at 6k may not really be warranted

That’s exactly why I waited til leaving time... bothered my carpool with it playing in the backseat lol
Not sure why I’m invested in this as I am not in the market for another 3yrs at best... but I like to look. Yeah that’s it...

and hey, our 6MT isn't exactly butter smooth either, so if i survived 8+ years living with it i'd have to imagine the G70 not being any worse...lowered expectations?
i did test an M240 a while back. that thing had the sweetest shifter since my old honda civic student car.

It was rubbery and the throws were long. However, any aftermarket STS fixes those shortcomings in a way that makes you wonder why you didn't do it as soon as you bought the car.
I somewhat doubt there will be an aftermarket world for parts on the G70. Not for a while, at least. Unless they lifted shifter parts off the Genny Coupe, which is a distinct possibility.

Between the STS and the RJM Pedal the driving experience is completely changed in the G... I agree that those type of mods should be near the top of any MT build plan. For the STS, I wish more manufacturers would focus on keeping installed height the same as OEM. The arm length has minimal effect on functionality.

On-topic (kind of), I've always liked the little Genny Coupe. It wasn't upscale, but it had style and respectable specs. It seemed to me like a slightly more substantial Subby BRZ. To this day, when I see the Genny I still take a second look.

The Genesis G70 has potential with a 6spd. available and a turbo engine that maybe someone will tune (possibly a tuner who worked previously with the coupe). However, it is at a pretty big disadvantage power wise to the V6 and there is no guarantee that there will be any tuning support since Hyundai stopped making the coupe 2 years ago. The only reason we have any tuning support for our G cars is that all the parts are really designed for the 370Z.
I think the car looks nice inside and from the sides and back, but the front end and base wheels leave a lot to be desired. I will have to comment more once we get one at work (probably not a 6spd). The G80 Sport is a very nice car though so I have not doubts that the G70 will be very decent.

Yep. If you know my build, you know I went way-y-y out of my way to address that situation.

I sold my 2013 2.0T 6MT Genesis to get my current G. I loved the car except it was a complete lemon and I ended up getting rid of it in under a year. In that time I had something like 16 warranty trips to the dealership for various things. Great car when it all worked, though.

My Sonata was the same issues before I got the G. Tons of trips to the dealership for small stupid crap and it was like trying to convince a person to get a root canal to get work done. I know Genesis is supposed to be different (akin to Lincoln vs Ford) but at the end of the day almost all the Genesis dealerships are Hyundai dealerships and my experiences with them have been completely tainted. I don't want to be one of the "masses". I want to be respected when I bring a sincere issue to their attention and I expect it to be resolved, not ignored or blown off.
I agree with that sentiment... I would not be comfortable going to a Hyundai dealership for service. It's way too soon to be making the Infiniti/Nissan equivalency comparison to Genesis/Hyundai.
Doesn't Genesis have a Concierge Service? That would at least hide the problem.
