2024 Genesis G70: The sports car disguised as a sedan
Luxury compact sport sedans occupy an odd niche in the automotive marketplace. They are not as expensive as high-end sports cars, but the rear seats are so small they are not real family cars, either. Because affordable sedans tend to be entry-level vehicles, the small rear seats can at least be rationalized as a compromise for saving money.
