Reviews SummaryDespite the increasing popularity of crossovers and SUVs, there are still plenty of shoppers hungry for a good old-fashioned sedan. For one, sedans handle better. They’re also generally less expensive and, to some eyes, far better looking. For yet another year, the 2023 Infiniti Q50 offers shoppers style and performance in an otherwise crossover-obsessed world. The question is, considering the market trends in favour of SUVs, are style and performance enough to generate sales? | |
Reviews SummaryWhile the Germans have long dominated the sport-luxury sedan segment, they face mounting pressure from the Koreans. Case in point, Genesis has been on a tear lately, gaining market share and impressing critics and consumers alike with fresh aesthetics and excellent chassis design. The Hyundai luxury brand’s compact G70 is such an animal, coming on to the scene for the 2024 model year with only a few styling tweaks and a brand-new engine option. Verdict: A new, more powerful base engine arrives for this model year and, paired with the car’s excellent handling, great build quality, and impressive safety tech, makes even the least-expensive 2024 Genesis G70 a compelling choice. The G70 is a bit more snug than a BMW 3 Series—particularly in the trunk—but if you can live with a little less cargo space, it’s more than worth a look. | |
