Auto review: Let the Genesis G70 run on a country road — if you can find one

The Genesis G70 wants off its leash — badly.

With a gym-toned bod, short wheelbase, Drive Mode tuned to SPORT+ and 365-horsepower twin-turbo V-6 at the ready in 3.3T trim, the subcompact sedan is the brand's greyhound. It's gotta run. But like finding room for your dog to really let loose in suburban America, it ain't an easy thing to do.

I took it on a morning rush hour commute to a business appointment recently and had dutifully slogged through heavy traffic and rain to get there.
