"The ongoing favorable reception our all-new 2019 G70 is receiving from third-party industry experts including the staff at MotorWeek continues to inspire and motivate our entire global team," said Erwin Raphael, Chief Operating Officer, Genesis Motor America. "G70 was designed and engineered to delight serious drivers and exceed the expectations of luxury sedan owners. This is our goal as we develop all new Genesis vehicles for their respective segments."

"The Genesis G70 is simply stunning, and not just at first glance," said John Davis, Creator, Host and Executive Producer of MotorWeek TV. "Designers took an expertly well balanced chassis, wrapped it in some of the most handsome body work to come along in years, and filled it with a gorgeous, high tech interior. One that can even include a clutch pedal and a terrific manual shifter if you choose. The G70 is our kind of luxury car indeed."
All Drivers' Choice Award winners are featured on Motorweek.org, and will appear on a special episode #3823 of MotorWeek airing on public television stations beginning February 9, and on cable's MotorTrend Network beginning February 19.
