2022 (NA yr) Genesis G70

The problem with the G70 and other Genesis compared to the German vehicles is that there aren't really any high-performance engines and don't have much in the way of customizability. Then again, that's true of the Asian brands in general.

I have a '14 328. It's build quality is excellent--I'd say better than my prior 2nd Gen IS. My BMW has 70K miles--by that point with my Lexus, during the cold weather, there were definitely some creaks. Not so with my BMW.

Pole Position
I partially agree, and partially disagree. Styling is subjective when a single person is evaluating a particular vehicle. However, if one were to take a pole, or look at sales, one can get a sense of the "collective evaluation" of a vehicle's styling. For instance, most people like the styling the German brands, which sell very well, and not many liked the Pontiac Aztek--an abolished brand due to lack of sales.
Personally, I look at styling like the baseball metaphor of getting a hit. Many strike out, a lot get to first and second base, but triples are harder to come by, and home runs are rarer still. I give the new G70 a stand-up double!

BMW M340 doesn't clear 400 HP. Why no criticism of BMW? And didn't Lexus do it with the IS-F? That's a specialty car. Are you asking why hasn't Genesis produced high HP a limited edition?

Genesis could easily get 400hp out of their engine but probably at the expense of fuel efficiency which they didn't want to do. Also, I don't know if their in-house tranny can hold that much power. Genesis also isn't marketed as a high performance brand so doesn't seem like they need to crack 400hp.
