Genesis G90 looks nice from the exterior. I don’t like the interior much and I especially don’t care for the dash and instruments. For $90K it would not be a consideration.

They don't make a flagship, they make an imitation.

first, $90k is the new $60k.

second, i'm not a huge fan of the dash design either... it's rather odd, plus i don't like so much silver switch gear. but it does feel high quality.

you know it doesn't, you're just trolling as usual.

Ugh we should have taken the Yukon up to NY—truck is tracking straight as an arrow but my wheel is off. Pretty sure it was aligned somewhat recently. Gonna check tires when we stop for gas.

We took this in case of snow along the way or up there.. The Denali came with crap tires in bad weather and I prefer FT4WD in this LX.

I like the screens, especially the divider between them. Not sure I like the door panels where all the controls are located.

So there are no different Smartstream V6 options. I didn't know that. One version without electric supercharging and one with it. That is interesting touch. I wonder if Hyundai will put a LS500 style full hybrid in their Genesis G90 ​​​​​​​



I think the interior for the most part. The screens are far better implemented than the Lexus LS500. And no horns around the centre speedometer. The software from what I have seen on You Tube is light years ahead of the Lexus software, but probably not on par with MB or BMW. Not sure I like the HVAC controls. The seats look lovely. Steering wheel design in the centre is more interesting.

The G90 is a great car, and for that kind of car $90,000 is an absolute steal. It becomes a question of what else are you going to buy for the same money? An LS500…but the G90 is more car IMO.

@AJT123 is it a picture fluke or are the LEDs on the left side of your tach and the needle dead?

You bet! I’m freezing. There are cars on the road so caked with salt I can’t even read plates. Definitely not used to that lol. I’m near Cleveland.

Everyone have safe travels! The roads aren’t bad at all today traffic wise which surprises me.
