VERY occasionally, a product-planning decision from a major automotive manufacturer can have you scratching your head while simultaneously trying to give a polite little golf clap. Which can be challenging from an anatomical point of view, trust me.

Case in point: the Genesis G70 Shooting Brake. I must admit its arrival last year did catch me off-guard a little, given the overall decline in the wagon market globally. Consider the fact that Mercedes-Benz no longer offers the CLS shooting brake, while the CLA shooting brake, which is still available overseas, isn't part of the local line-up.

No matter Genesis clearly figured that even a small slice of the declining wagon market still justified the development cost of the Shooting Brake, and we're glad they did. I reckon this is a wagon done right it's got a great stance, elegantly sloping roofline, and the fastback rear-end is rakish and eye-catching. In the short time I've had it, heads have rotated and a few curious types have strolled up for a proper look and chat, so it seems to tick the street-cred box.
