And for as impressive the Genesis G70 is as a first effort compact luxury sport sedan, it still comes up short in that category. The interior design and some of the material choices are just a turn-off for me.
With that being said, if the G70 proves to have a great reliability record then it could very well become an attractive buy. BMWs self-implode out of warranty and become more headache than they are worth.

Honestly the G70's interior is pretty on par with the G20 in most of the important areas. The napa leather seats look and feel great, the dash is covered in a good amount of leatherette, and unlike the 3er they actually pad the side of the center console with soft materials for a knee rest. Only let downs for me were the navigation head unit and some of the switchgear not feeing as tactile, other than that, I think its pretty nice considering the $15k delta between the two, not to mention I think the 3er is pretty cheap for its class when it comes to interior and materials, my son's Mazda6 Signature feels more luxurious than a G20. But that's just my opinion.
