The G70 isn't even on the Genesis web site yet. Unless I just overlooked it (which sometimes happens), I looked the site over carefully and didn't see it, even under "Future Vehicles". They do, of course, have their upcoming GV80 SUV on the site.

So I went to the show today and was very impressed with the G90. The G70's front seat and interior are was really done well too. But there's one big flaw, there's no rear seat leg room! I'm 5'10 and this is where I'd sit to drive, I couldn't sit behind myself:
Now I did sit inside the Kia Stinger which shares the same platform and was able to fit fine behind myself. I think this car might have the same trouble the IS250 did when it came out in 2006.

I visited the show tonight with a girlfriend. Viewed in context with all other brands in the same floor or show, the Genesis vehicles are far behind Audi, Lexus, Lincoln and BMW. While the Genesis are nice and look well built, the design is well behind the other brands I just mentioned.

That's interesting. I'm 6'4" and also was able to fit in the back seat of the Stinger. Not that I would want to sit there for long, but it was doable. I wanted to see the G70 at the Chicago Auto Show, but couldn't find time this year. I guess I need to wait for them to show up in the showroom to see how the seats match up. It doesn't look good after seeing your post, though. I wonder what they did with the space.

The seat backs on the Genesis G70 are likely thicker. The thicker front seat backs take up more rear horizontal room and the thicker rear seat back may push the rear seat forward.
The Stinger, while on the same platform as the G70, has a 2 inch wheelbase stretch so it is a bit longer. Apparently most of the stretch went into rear seat legroom.

A trick, though, with many newer vehicles, is scalloping out part of the front seat-backs to (artificially) create more knee/legroom in back. We'll see if the G70 does this or not.
