Always looked upon Kia not wanting to directly compete against Genesis - so the Stinger being aslotting btwn the G70 and G80 (in addition to option for the fastback bodystyle) and the K900 slotting btwn the G70 and G80 The 4 Series GC and the A5/S5 are probably the most direct competitors to the Stinger - both having the fastback bodystyle and slotting btwn the 3 and 5 Series and A4 and A6, respectively, in both size and pricing (which is a reason why I don't think Genesis should price the G70 that much higher than the Stinger as the Stinger has the bodystyle/size combo that commands a premium).Yep, that's the plan for Cadillac's sedan lineup.The CT5 basically goes back to the size of the 1G/2G CTS w/ the CT6 maybe shrinking a bit for the next gen.Part of this is bringing back size/interior space in the value equation for Cadillac sedans, but part is also Cadillac wanting to do away w/ separate LWB versions for the China market (basically, Cadillac sedans will already come in LWB form).Cadillac may still bring a flagshipto the market (likely w/ the CT7 moniker), but it may come in fastback form (Cadillac also supposedly has plans for a RWD flagship CUV).A little less, but wouldn't have any issue w/ the G70 being the same price (or even slightly more).But let's say the G70 is the better handler and has a nicer interior than the Q50 (which shouldn't be surprising as the G70 is newer and the smaller vehicle), but the Q50 brings added interior room and let's not forget that Infiniti has been very aggressive when it has come to lease deals for the Q50.Most buyers in the luxury market don't care if a sedan (or crossover) is the better handler and care more about- which may be the Achilles heel of the G70 (as it has been for the ATS, Jag XE, Lexus IS and the Alfa Giulia).Personally, the Stinger is more appealing to than the G70 as prefer the sheetmetal and interior design (altho wish the overall quality of the Stinger interior was as good as the G70 's when it comes to switchgear), but another key factor is that the Stinger just has more usable space at the rear than the G70 , in addition to the utility of the fastback design.The G80 Sport is a bit large for my needs, but the G70 would be too cramped - the Stinger pretty much hits the spot.
