2018 Genesis G80 Sport
To get the G80 Sport's V6 with its 365 horsepower and 376 pound-feet of torque, you'll need to spend at least $56,225. That will net you the rear-wheel-drive version. For another $2,500, you can get your Sport with all-wheel drive. Regardless of drive wheels, the Sport features unique front and rear fascias, dark chrome and bronze-finish trim, upgraded suspension, vented rear disc brakes, more aggressive transmission tuning, and unique interior trim.
For not much more money, though, you can pick up the more powerful V8-powered G80. It now starts at $57,975 for a rear-drive model, and all-wheel drive again adds $2,500 to that price. That's about a $1,700 difference to go from the Sport's V6 to the 420-horsepower V8. However, you won't get the Sport's performance upgrades.

I have not seen one yet on the road since debut. Just checked on cars.com, dealers are already discounting 20% with v6 version and 15% with the v8. Checked the G90, also about 15%. Are they going to sit just like when it carried the Hyundai name brand? If they do, I might just wait until 2018s come out and grab one for 30-35% off

Wow that is way too much imo.
I saw it in person at NY show and really like the styling.
But at over $60k when all is said and done, I rather get a 540i.
Nevertheless good to see new G80 improving.

STRIPPED 540i starts at $58K and you'll never see one for that price unless you order one. G80 will have massive discounts....+ right now the G80 5.0 w/ultimate pkg is $55K (every option)

I'm absolutely interested in the Genesis value proposition, especially the G90. I know they're not a "new" automaker per say, I just have a personal discipline to avoid buying the first-year model for a variety of reasons (testing what resale values look like in year 2, reliability, customer reviews after 12 months etc.) but very much interested in this as a replacement of my LS (or get another LS is the alternative) given the awesome bang for the buck the G90 provides.

My build with Msport pack is about $65k. Never buy off the lot.
Not to mention the B58 inline 6 with the ZF trans is way superior to this V6 turbo.

Sit in a loaded G80 and it's still not anywhere as nice as a base 540. I know I'd get the Bimmer 100% of the time.
