The car was revealed in Korea. I can almost guarantee these wheels won't even be an option here in the US.

I like the wheels. New Mercedes S class Maybach has those dish like wheels too.

Very Audi'ish' vibe.

Love the dark mocha color

It has those passenger seat controls on the driver side for the driver. Something the new LS500 dropped

Looks good in that color (may have to see it in person to verify 100% as sometimes brown can be weird). And good eye on the passenger seat controls being accessible to the driver - have always loved that feature on my LS's through the years. Very under-rated convenience feature.

yup, that pic is almost identical to my ('18). only thing different i see is the climate rotary left/right controls are larger.

and yeah, i love passenger seat controls on left side of passenger seat for the driver to adjust it.

another feature some might not know about is the small compartment right of shifter, besides usb, aux input, is a wireless charging pad, so i just slide my phone in there.

That upper dashboard reminds me of the current-generation GS.

IIRC you can access seat control for both front seats through the infotainment screen so feature should be there, albeit buried in a menu.

Good comparison. I can see that. The cut along the passenger side vent / wood looks very similar. The Genesis has better detailing in that area IMO, though it should for the price hah

Well that's one way to redefine "bold new styling".

The exterior looks like an Audi, Acura, Lincoln and Volvo all mashed together.

The interior looks like a Lexus.

Looks like Genesis didn't really do much.

Here comes the new Genesis! Just when I thought that no one can EVER out-do what Lexus did to their cars with the spindle grille.

Lol. Looks like inverted ace of spades wants to bluff the spindle and see who blinks first.
