Get whatever you want because it matters little to others, speak you mind as well because that's good for everyone. Hey, to each his own, ya know? Best of luck with car purchases to everyone, no matter what car you all end up with.

I would guess with the GV70, like the recent/current years Lexus vehicles, looks are very polarizing....either you like the looks or you don't. Personally I like the like the looks of both. How those looks age may be another story. It's too bad Acura has chosen or had no choice but to increase car prices, but it is too bad in general what has happened to car prices over the years. Sure, the price of everything is up, but these are +/- $30,000 to $50,000 purchases. How young people can afford a new car any more is a mystery.

I liked it a lot and had fun with it but during the past few months I decided that the RDX would be better for me. I never got to drive a 2022 but when I drove the 2021 I realized that it was easier for me to get in and out of compared to the Q3. And I wanted more cargo space. Also, believe it or not, the Q3 didn’t have memory seats which is just stupid!
Had a Q3 as a loaner one time when getting body work on my RDX. Couldn’t wait to get back in the RDX. Seriously lacking in luxury and seat comfort. Nimble and more responsive, though, probably because lighter and better transmission.

According to this post on the Genesis forum, it looks like the GV70 might have also had a recent price increase.

Yes I have felt that for quite awhile. I no longer feel that way about ACURA. Keep in mind I didn't pay a price increase. Just my observation regarding what they are doing for so little offered in exchange.

Why did you buy an RDX if it’s no longer worth it?
I am not saying that most others are better value. I am saying Acura is shanking us and expect us to act like we should be thankful when they upcharge us for it. I like my RDX but the value portion is getting out of hand for what we get in return .I looked at the GV70 prior to buying my RDX but decided to stay with the RDX based on my history with the Honda/Acura brand. They have been reliable for me so I chose that over a new vehicle.

I am glad you re happy with your purchase. I realize I am on the RDX forum. I didnt bash my RDX I just stated a fact at what Acura has done.

I realize a price increase occurs but at least Genesis still has something far greater to offer. RDX is seriously lacking in value for the money. Tech on GV70 blows RDX away.

No problem. No bashing here or there. Like I said, if you are going to spend this amount on a car, you should be 'thrilled', not just satisfied - in my book anyway. There are a lot of nice things about the GV70 that I like, believe me it's a very nice car. It's just not right for me, that's all. Not bashing or trashing whatever your decision comes down to. I am with you!
