No Grey Poupon, I guess.

Looks pretty good from that angle, I really do like those wheels, hope they are available in the US.

Personally I wouldn't buy a G90 if these were the only wheels but completely respect the fact that others like them - it's truly how beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Give me big 5 star wheels on the G90 like what MB offers on certain S class trims, or like the 5 stars on my LS460, etc. I'd love to see someone photoshop the G90 with some different wheel options to see how the stance of the car changes with different rims.

I like the car from this angle - and I love the stitching design on the leather seats and the contrast of the interior color compared to the top of the dash below the windshield.

I'm liking this more and more. That face looks like it means business. I want to know what those backup lights are about though...

Looks good, but I'm not a chrome guy...too much of it on the grill, door handles, etc.

and those wheels

Maybe they provide additional lighting for the rear camera(s)? Not sure but it would be interesting to know.

Love how in the video it shows the side vent 'bars' are continuation of the turn signals.

Those lights remind me of the Enterprise leaving Space Dock or Bird of Prey landing in Star Trek II and III.

I just took another look at the video of the refreshed G90. With all the new cars being shown within the last few days, the new G90 is making me appreciate seeing a new traditional full-size luxury sedan. It looks very well-done (or Genesis' marketing team did that good of a job on these videos) and seems to just exude elegance and grace. It really gives me those traditional flagship sedan vibes. I never thought I'd say this, but seeing the new G90 has me questioning why Lexus did what they did to the new LS and I've previously been in support of these changes... I still am in support of the changes & really like the sporty and aggressively-natured vehicle that the 5LS is, but it would be nice to have a new "traditional flagship sedan" in the Lexus lineup if you know what I mean.

Good vid and good music (esp. for those of us who like house-type music). Having the back up lights located at the bottom is interesting - it looks cool at night but I wonder about the application in daylight (can another car see you if you are in R - most folks are used to seeing reverse lights more centrally located as an indicator a car is about to back up). Car looks stunning from certain angles and looks a bit off in other angles, but I suspect that's due to my hatred of the wheels. Lots of great touches and looks very well thought-out on the interior. I have family members and friends who are completely turned off by the LS500 due to its sportiness and lack of rear room. This may be the most viable option for those seeking luxury & comfort as in the LS of old.

hehe, well a) it's not available, and b) i haven't even had my g90 a year, so not yet, but when it's time, i'm sure it will be considered.

LOVE that they now have a touch screen
LOVE that it has android auto and apple carplay
LOVE the front lights and those side turn signals
LOVE the new quietness features (noise cancellation and other)
i expect the suspension's probably taken another step
looks like remote app has more capabilities
obviously i love the rest of it as it's what i have today

and love the music that starts at 2:22...
