G70 with the 3.5T engine?

[nrp]

Any word on when the G70 will receive the new V6? I actually thought it would happen in 2021.... clearly a mistake.

I remember reading somewhere about the new engine. The GV80 got it.... while the G70 keeps using the 3.3T. I wonder if it makes sense for Genesis to produce two engines so similar in terms of size.

My hunch is the 3.3 will discontinue at some point. Genesis may have lots of engines and or parts still available for the 3.3 they will not want to waste so they will probably attempt a cut-over when on hand supply dictates. The engines are similar enough it makes me no difference, but the duel fuel injection process on the 3.5 will fix the carbon build up issues pure direct injection causes so that alone makes that engine nice.

It is a shame the 2022 model year in the US isn't getting the 2.5 and 3.5 engines, this really would have been an upgrade, better gas mileage and power could make a great car even better!

The duel injection on the Smartstream 3.5T is definitely nice, but how is the reliability? Lambda II is a proven engine, but the Smartstream just came out, I assume Lambda II would be more reliable.
