Well, it's July 4th and the only tweets I've seen lately are about the G80. I figured the next tweets would've landed today on the 4th.

These include advanced driver assistance systems such as Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian Detection, Blind-Spot Collision Warning, Lane Keeping Assist and Driver Attention Warning. The G70 was designed to meet the highest safety standards, just like the G80 and G90 sedans.
Customer Service
G70 offers a class-exclusive, no-cost, consumer-focused program that elevates the luxury vehicle ownership experience: a collection of concierge services that exceeds the near-luxury level benchmark.

Peace of mind is also standard on G70, thanks to a 5-year/60,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty. G70 also features Enhanced Roadside Assistance and Concierge Services, including tire changes or transportation to the nearest Genesis dealership or authorized service facility and reimbursement for inconvenience. For the first three years or 36,000 miles, complimentary Service Valet will collect the G70 to service it and offer a courtesy replacement meanwhile.
Technology
To complete the total ownership experience, every G70 model will come standard with Genesis Connected Services. Advanced telematics include technology like Destination Search powered by Voice, Car Finder, Enhanced Roadside Assistance and Stolen Vehicle Recovery. With a complimentary three-year subscription, Genesis Connected Services further enhances assurance for drivers and passengers, with SOS Emergency & Automatic Collision Notification.
When combining the power of Genesis Connected Services and an Amazon Alexa-enabled device, the G70 offers remote voice control, performing tasks including Remote Door Lock/Unlock and Remote Start with a specified interior temperature. Genesis Connected Services can also easily be accessed from the controls located on the vehicle’s center stack, the rearview mirror, the internet through the MyGenesisUSA.com website or via the smartphone/smartwatch app exclusive to Genesis owners.

What...the...F ??!!?! Still no release date...and not even a hint to pricing.

This company is going downhill in my book. What a joke. My 14 year old daughter can plan this out better.

What...the...f$%k??!!?! Still no release date...and not even a hint to pricing.

Why would they give pricing already? While people here want to know and are speculating, you don't want to give the competition more planning time than you have to.

As noted, this is release 3 of 4. Evidently they have a plan, though your daughter may disagree with it. Just a guess, the 4th release may be the official announcement with dates.

Aside from dealers and anyone planning to buy one, the release date will not affect us. They said "summer" so they have to Sept 21. The rest of us are just interested observers. I'm putting my effort into coming up with what to do for dinner tonight and letting Genesis come up with release dates. Maybe sausage on the grill with onions and peppers. I'll go to the store in my G80.

This is the third of four. So, the first was released on June 11. The second followed 17 days later on June 28. This, the third, came today (July 5), 7 days after the second. No obvious pattern here. I suspect that, as with the previous press releases, we'll soon see a bunch of "reviews" that are just re-statements of what's in the press releases. This last one does at least clarify some things, like the warranty, service, and concierge services that will come with the car. They almost seem geared to 3-year leases; when all the perks run out, time to sign on for a new car. I don't lease, so I find it a bit annoying that we get shorter times for some of these than our friends in Canada do. But these times are pretty much standard for all cars, it seems. Genesis still has a better power train warranty than most.

I think we'll start to see ads on TV before the cars start to show up. I'd guess we'll see the 4th press release and the TV ads at about the same time. That would seem to make sense from a marketing perspective, getting final word out to the media and to consumers directly at about the same time. But none of this has made obvious sense, so it's really anybody's guess.

Thus far, we've had every reason to believe that various arms of Genesis USA, like the marketing folks and those working out the dealership agreements, haven't exactly been in perfect sync. So these press releases may tell us less about an arrival date than we'd like to believe. Time will tell.

Hm, these press releases were a week apart. Could the fourth come next week... and announce the release date for... September...?
