Aww only the 2.0 has the option for a six-speed manual transmission, the V6 only has automatic.

It's nice but I like the Stinger more - and I'm not biased at all...

The AWD 3.3T gets the same combined fuel economy as the Hyundai Elantra GT

I am calling shenanigans on the number. The Korean press is reporting 21 combined (same as the Stinger GT).

I really like the G70. Its in the running. Price will likely be the biggest factor for me.

I'm guessing the fuel economy numbers are for the 2.0t and are just mislabeled?

The RWD 2.0T gets 25 mpg combined. So I have no idea where that number came from.

I have a feeling I am going to like the interior of the Genesis G70 Sport better but the Stinger exterior styling just blows the G70 away. Going to be a tough decision as I am looking a bit more for a luxury sedan but am in love with the Stinger exterior. I wish they had a 'luxury' interior for the Stinger... not that it is in the least bit bad but there's definitely one step up they decided to forgoe, likely so as to help differentiate between the G70 and the Stinger.
