Genesis Shooting Brake – 4 Gay Boys on a Weekend Away

Genesis G70 Shooting Brake is a wagon version of the 2.0L sedan. It is sexy, fun to drive great in town, but we wondered if it was any good on a trip.

Usually, 4 of us head to Max’s country farm, but with the breaking of Covid restrictions, the usual suspect have all fled to the 4 corners of the planet.

This weekend, Sir David invited Travis, Luke and I, for a “lads-on-river” weekend at his rambling old homestead on the Hawkesbury River. I think he just craved some company, but no one can deny he is keen on young hunks, and Travis and Luke fill their shorts to bursting.

Luke is the square-jawed petrol-head. At 29, he has pulled apart more cars than I’ve had hot dinners, leaving little time to find a bloke, which is fine by him. Travis on the other hand, loves male company as much as he loves cars. The more of both, the merrier.

Travis was first to take a stab at the juice.

I don’t drive a lot of cars, I have a RAM and a bike, so the G70 Shooting Brake was an eye-opener. It felt so tiny next to my RAM. I really love a big RAM.

It was nice to be able to turn fast and loose in a rear wheel sporty car. Steering was super light with tons of feel, but the front seat was best. It took a couple of hours to get to David’s joint, including 15km of hot, dry, dirt.

Even though the RAM has a massive engine, the G70 Shooting Brake was really quick. I liked it, but the back seats are pretty tight for tall bloke like me. It’s probably not the sort of car I’d buy for myself. I’d have to have an off-roader of some kind.

ABOVE: 2022 Genesis G70 Shooting Brake

Luke waned to “tear this shit up”

I like a track car, but I reckon the G70 Shooting Brake would be way too soft, and just to big and wallowy. It’s all big and soft, and the deluxe thing clearly isn’t aimed at anyone under 25. At 80 thousand, it isn’t a hot hatch, and too tight on space to carry anything useful, so who is going to buy it.

I gave it the beans on the highway, and it seems much happier doing straight, smooth, tarmac.

I didn’t rate it as a car for me, but the driver and safety stuff is pretty cool. Thank fuck it has Apple CarPlay, but what’s the go with having to plug that shit in?

Sir David told me to get over myself, but he was trying to feel me up under the dining table at the time, so I didn’t think giving him a hard time was something I wanted to do.

I’d drive the Genesis any time, I just wouldn’t buy one, for at least 15 years.

Sir David

I no longer drive, I have strong handsome boys around me to take me where I need to be. I can’t remember their names, so I call them all, “Trick.”

Normally I like to ride in the back, but I’ve not been in a Genesis before, so i was invited to experience life up front for a change. I have a fancy phone but don’t use most the features therein. There same goes for cars. I turn the vents to face me and make sure the temperature is nice and cool. I’m told it has an automatic function, so I’d need a boy for sort that out for me.

Alan kept telling me the centre screen works like my mobile, however I don’t know how to use my mobile, so his bellicose barbs fell on deaf ears.

The G70 Shooting Brake is a classy name, and I can see myself turning up at a country house weekend. All the while i’d wondering why we didn’t take my old Rolls Royce. Alan says it is because it drives like a truck with leather seats, the peasant.

I enjoyed the engine sound, though I’m told it is fake. Stuff and nonsense! Of course it is real, i heard it.

Alan winds it all up

We’ve got the G70 Shooting Brake video review coming up in a few days, so stay tuned. I continue to enjoy a rather harmonious relationship with the Genesis models. They are decent quality and reasonably priced, especially compared with the Japanese brands, some of whom have really fallen behind

The G70 was comfortable for 4. It was nippy, sounded good, and was fabulous in corners. Luke thinks anything that doesn’t go around a bend at a thousand kph is rubbish, but he did like the overall experience. He is a hard man, and even harder to please. Make of that as you will.

The review shows how the gadgets make life easier. Although it needs wireless carplay and a better audio system, the fact remains that the G70 Shooting Brake is gorgeous inside and out. It goes well enough for most people, and makes BMW, Mercedes, and Audi look a bit last-week. Mercedes have tried this shooting brake caper too, but with far less success. In fact the Merc was as plain as unprinted Pyrex.
