Really wanted to cheer for Hyundai on this one. I wish they had done a bit more to make the production vehicle way more stylish and have a presence.

One of the issues is buyer psychology. People didn't want to pay $50K for a Hyundai despite the fact that these are good vehicles.

This new G80 to me looks way to much like a fave of mine from the 2000's - the Infiniti M45. And yeah, gotta lose the Bentley badge.

That's just it...it's not a Hyundai now. It's a Genesis. I paid $44k for a Kia Minivan. $50k ain't what it used to be.

It's a great car, I'd buy one.

I forgot the Genesis existed. Whats up with the G80 name, do they have different Genesis now?

^^ All the near luxury models Hyundai was whipping out is now separated in a new sub brand called Genesis. Now all their vehicles will have a G moniker

Looks real good. I agree that the interior is a drab.

If they're going to upscale the equus and genesis, hyundai will be down to a sonata, elantra, and the suvs.

Wow stunning profile, extraordinary details. Looks more german than any other german out there. Perfect stuff!

Design was always promising but it was details that held it back and now they got it all right! Exterior at least.

The best looking midsize on Earth right now. Period.

Call me crazy but I see some Bentley Continental GT in it. Maybe I'm not so crazy since Genesis even based their emblem after the Bentley.

This is a reworked bumper and headlights guys LOL.

I will clarify and say I'm only referring to the bumper. Guess I should have made myself a bit clearer lol.

Anyone see the outline of an inverted Spindle grill in here?

SW17LS

Not really no lol

I see what you're talking about, but I don't think its meant to be an inverted spindle grill. That shape lower and upper grille is not an uncommon styling convention.

Equus becomes G90 in the U.S.
