beginning of this year. Hyundai has sudden acceleration problem which so far killed quite a number of people, In one case
air bag did not deploy killing the driver in an accident in Korea.
What is the crash test result of GT90 by IIHS? Anyone has any info on structural strength of the body, how many layers of paint?
what is the weight of the GT90? If I were buying the GT90, I'd wait for a year or so just to be sure.

Unlike many large luxury sedans, the 2018 Genesis G90 has been crash-tested—and the results are impressive. The IIHS awards the lineup its Top Safety Pick+ rating.

Hyundai as well. In domestic sales it declined 27% or something compared to 2016. Their plant in Korea is hit by union strike

I thought this was the Stinger GT AWD thread, not the G90 thread. Not to mention it's a new owner's impressions of his vehicle. There is another new owner of an LS posting a thread and he's getting congratulations and also mentions that critiques of styling etc should be limited to those threads of the new LS vs old LS. There is an existing G90 thread here too, but obviously Genesis has people talking and of course opposing - that's probably all they wanted anyways.
Was that a typo, Htony?...the last official GT90 designation was used for the Ford GT.

Lol. Now I know you're just fooling around. Post #64 in this thread. But yeah, it helps to get things right if you're criticizing a specific car. I just thought that this thread was about owner experience of a very new model and it would be updated as time went on. All the other stuff about market image, branding and discussion about other stuff is unrelated and unnecessary. There's another thread here for that.

Disagree. It is all very relevant in the context. I think one needs to view the KIA brand as a whole when discussing the Stinger.

I finally got a chance to drive one last week. The bumble bee version, limited edition AWD twin turbo 6. Props to KIA for bringing more enticing options into our market. I thought long term it would be a pain to get in & out of. The interior isn't as roomy and the stereo isn't as good as my ES. The weight to HP ratio isn't that much better either. Though, I admit, the speed got my heart going a bit. Probably cause I don't routinely floor my ES. The ride is better than I expected.
It already has its niche I think in the U.S., so it doesn't matter what old men think.
t's just not for me. I'm sure used versions will sell like hot cakes to the fan boy market. Let's see those resale values in 3 years.

Really? The ES350 is somewhere above 13 lb/hp and the Stinger is less than 10 lb/hp. In performance terms that is a lot. The torque to weight difference is huge. The 4 cyl Stinger is closer to the ES350 in performance. The ES is a great car (I have owned 2) but is a whole different animal than the Stinger. Fortunately, there are buyers for each type.

Comparing the Stinger to the ES doesn’t make any sense at all.
