I've never seen one on the road.

Granted i don't drive anywhere near as much as you and i don't live in traffic hell like you do.

 

I saw 2 yesterday! The placement of the front plate is tragic, right up in the grille. Would have to skip that...

 

i can think of more problems i have with the design than that. the mirrored (chrome) bar on the side is big enough to be the mirror in a gym!

 

I dunno, I like it. I like that its not trying to be anything else

 

The alternative is to mount the radar on the grille like on the G80 and other Genesis sedans. There's no win-win solution.

The electric G80 has the best radar implementation but it doesn't count since it has no real grille either.

 

I am starting to see them in the wild too. I was riding with my dad the other day and we saw another one in the wild. She looked over and they both gave each other thumbs up.

Another time I was riding with him and someone waved to put his window down. The guy then goes "I just wanted to say I really like your car." I asked my dad how often that happened and he said about once a week or maybe every other week. It's definitely not a car if you want to avoid attention. If it's parked on the street with a lot of walkers a lot of people turn and look at it. He's also gotten "what's a Genesis?"

100% agree on the front plate. Luckily NC is rear only anyway. However, I think front plates on all cars are terrible and no state should require them.

 

So agree.

 

Let's see if this option makes it stateside.

2022 Genesis GV80 Debuts In South Korea With Posh Six-Seat Model

 

Love that feature on the passenger seat for the driver to move it forward/back/tilt. The LS460 used to have have it, not sure I've seen it available on 5LS

 

That's a basic feature on every Genesis, including the G70. Heck, i think it's even in some more recent Hyundais.

 

LS 500 still does it. Just doesn’t stick out on the side of passenger seat

 

In the LS500 you just hit a “R” button and control the passenger seat from the drivers controls, same as Mercedes.

 

I really enjoyed having seat position controls on the left side of the passenger seat (in my g90) for me as the driver to adjust it.

 

i don't see many gv80's on the road, but saw one the other day (lower end trim presumably with smaller wheels) and i have to say i really don't like its looks.

i think cars look worst in white, but still...



i find the proportions 'off', the odd triangular metal piece at the rear corners strange, the overdone chrome bits... just not a good looker. it's like an infiniti qx60 on crack or something.

 

Well definitely many automakers aim their styling for the top level trims; I find that most cars in lower level trim just do not look as nice.
