You’re right. I just saw an ad for the Mazda 6, and it also looks like the Q50 and the Genesis.
What happened with your stinger?

I remember you mentioning the paint issue, did you go thought Kia’s buy back?
I did the buyback because of the defective paint. It made sense to do since the original lease wasn’t structured for the additional depreciation due to the repaint so I didn’t want to be stuck paying for it at the end. They were offering to refund all of my money so I took that option and bought a beater car.
Were you planning to buy it out?
Nope. I was planning to turn the car back in at the end of the lease, this just accelerated that process. The way I look at it, I got to drive the car for 8 months for free.

I have Hi chroma red. How would I go about with the paint issue?
Because you said 200 miles from boston, I’m assuming that you bought this one from the Manchester NH Genesis? I test drove this car on Saturday Morning and really wanted to lease it myself but they were asking way too much money for it. They also use alot of really scummy dealer tactics that I’m not a big fan of.
I was in the same boat as you, I didn’t like the dark green / beige designer they had and the red was one of my preferred colors. The handling of that car was insane, including the 0-60 launch blew me away.
Unfortunately, even tho I loved that car I wasn’t willing to pay what they were asking for it, hope you enjoy it though! I’m hoping to get into one down the road a bit when the prices drop.
FYI the Best price they gave me was
$670/month
$0 down
10k/36
You don’t. The recall only applied to the sunset yellow stingers.
My recommendation is to go to the dealer and tell them you want to file a claim with corporate regarding your paint and that you believe you have the same peeling issue as the sunset yellow stingers. The worst they can do is deny it.
It’s definitely a chick magnet, you’re already gaining attention on the street. 
I like the color combo, beautiful. All the power to you if you have the means. As someone else mentioned, why pay less and drive something you don’t love

I got it from Auburn and this was back on “Black Friday”.
I see quite a few in stock in the region now but at the time they literally had the only Havana Red 3.3T in New England. Nearest after that was in New Jersey.
Oh gotcha, thought it would’ve been pretty funny if you grabbed the one I was just looking at. I had a similar experience to you, I pretty much fell in love with the 3.3T Sport after I drove it and really did want to over pay myself but ended up walking away. I could justify paying in the 500’s for it but mid/high 6’s just seemed unreasonable
I’ve always liked the genesis (had a 2013 coupe and a 2016 sedan) since its something you don’t see often on the road
Hold out for a few more months and we should see leasing improve on it. It’s obvious to me that there is a market for the car, just not at the pricing that Genesis thinks it’s going to get.
Probably not a good idea posting here though 
Yea, in all reality the value you get in the g70 is similar if not better than many of the luxury brands but people still have to go to hyundia dealerships to buy them and most people paying $5-700 for a lease are just gonna stick to benz/bmw/audi
I pay $460/month for my $49k 2016 genesis which is basically the same as the g80 but if I try to get a similar $47k g70 they are asking $100-$200 more now
Man seriously if OP likes car and makes a decision with his eyes open who are we to judge. He has the means and thats all that matters. Just wish him well and get off your high horses. I dont think we had seen a done g70 deal in this forum, well now we do. Now lets work on seeing how to make it better. OP enjoy it again. Dont let anyone tell you different.
People on these forums love to tell you how to spend your money . If you like it and can afford it go for it . Personally I wouldn’t buy a car just because of the deal . Find the car you want and go for the best out of it .
I don’t feel like I was taken advantage of. I was told the price of admission and I decided I was willing to pay it.
This is the price that these cars are leasing for. I can take it or leave it. I chose the former because I value the unique factor that it brings.
@TemjinX2 The Genesis is a Genesis and a BMW is a BMW. If I wanted BMW I would have gotten BMW and saved some money but that’s not what I wanted. The G70 is a good car on it’s own merit and not because it’s “a more reliable BMW”. It is HEAVILY influenced by the German luxury cars though.
@daveydave424 lol I didn’t even notice that. What can I say the older ladies love me and/or the car
@dmitry yeah a lot of cars have the same side profile. From the front it really distinguishes itself though. or it looks like a Bentley I’m told
