The official “What car is replacing the Acura RSX” thread…

Kerry,

Wall Street Journal had a pretty good article today(Saturday) on the 2019 Genesis G70 3.3T Sport AWD. (Subtle comparison to BMW)
 
The R&D department at Genesis was managed by ex-BMW engineer...Albert Biermann who currently leads Genesis High-Performance Development.

Plus they hired two additional ex-BMW engineers Fayez Abdul Rahman and Thomas Schemera from BMW's M racing division.

In addition, Bugatti designer Alexander Selipanov now heads their design department.

It is no secret that Genesis has actively been trying to replicate a Korean BMW for several years with a true "Drivers Car".
It appears they are having some success.
