Yeah, don’t care what reviewers are saying. My own personal subjective opinion is this is a confused interior design that won’t age well. Feels like it should be in a PT cruiser to me, not a luxury car. Simply don’t care for it.
I typically like Genesis interior design, this not so much.

Here is the big problem….Hyundai dealer on the background…Genesis needs dealers…I have seen a G70 in the wild, it does look good and quite unique. The tail pipes are not great

Savagegeese review is very thoughtful and i thought on point about branding, competitors, how it's likely to do.
when jack asks mark point blank is the GV70 enough to get people to switch from German brands, mark says "no", lol.![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Another point jack makes is while the car is quiet as far as wind and engine noise, it isn't that quiet as far as tire noise, which is something i also experienced on my G90 (which i loved anyway).

Mark and Jack actually like the GV70 more than the Germans, because they found that it had more character. Their point about it not "swaying" German buyers was entirely to do with the badge.
As a side note, I'm not sure what's going on with Genesis marketing because it appears the GV70 never got an official press launch in the U.S. Every reviewer is just uploading their reviews on separate days and most of them aren't even press vehicles, but from dealer lots. I think Doug touched on this in his GV70 review. It's like in moving to EV's, Genesis wants to pretend that the GV70 no longer exists.

Yea Kia/Hyundai/Genesis can't market a got damn thing.![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Simply awful. Till this day, I still get stopped multiple times a day because so many people have zero clue what a Stinger is and Ive had my first one since 2018. It's even worse now cause no one knows Kia changed the logo now. I've yet to see a commercial on the car. So this doesn't surprise me in the least bit about Genesis. Its like anything over 35k doesn't have a marketing budget. Lol.

In this recent skewed market, I wouldn't put too much stock in that. It may have sold simply because it was more available than some other vehicles.

Their sales have to come from somewhere. But at some point there will be a limit on how many rwd sales the brand can achieve. FWD is where all the volume is…with the popularity of the Pallisade and Tellyouride…a Genesis version would give the best sell luxury vehicle a big run for the money.

Genesis is clearly a work in progress... they botched their launch and now are in the middle of rebranding and a chip crisis, not easy. I loved my g90, wasn't ready for another though (decided to get 2 vehicles as you know - suv/coupe - instead) and i don't care for the gv80.

Now that I have the S560, the difference in isolation from road noise is remarkable. If anything, wind noise and exterior vehicle noise is louder than it was in the LS, but the difference in road noise makes the S feel overall quieter. If Lexus or Genesis could pair Mercedes' ability to dampen road noise with their already excellent way of limiting wind and ambient noise then their cars would really be extraordinarily quiet.

I sincerely doubt that. Santa Cruz is in a niche vehicle in a segment that hasn't existed since the Baja and is made and sold only in North America. Meanwhile the GV70 is in the hottest segment of vehicles currently in the world- the compact crossover CUV.
If anything, I think Hyundai spent way more advertising bux on the Santa Cruz because it had a much higher risk of failing due to its nicheness. Worked a bit too well and now they can't even build enough of them.
