Looks pretty good. The styling works way better on the G80 than the GV80 imo. I'd consider this when my GS lease is up later this year.

Looks amazing! Lexus should be paying close attention.

Has all the right attributes of the A7 and CLS to my eye (from the side and rear/side) but I like the elongated look of the G80 hood. I prefer the Genesis front styling over both from the pics. I love the wheels - I hope they are going to do some of the same colors with the matte finish like the GV80. Great looking car in pics, have to imagine it's even better in person. I haven't been tempted to buy a new car in 15 years but I honestly think Genesis is gonna make me do it...!

My favorite Genesis to date. Would love to try out a 3.5TT AWD version

Good first impressions. Can't wait to see more photos.

As with the GV80, I do not like the steering wheel, though.

Steering wheel is slightly different, and i think bettter than GV80. Better potential hand positions/pockets along the bottom of the lower edge.

So.. ToMoCo needs to take a majority state in Hyundai Corp, and merge Genesis with Lexus and convert the G70, G80, G90, GV80 into the IS, GS, LS, and RX respectively is what you're saying

Eeeeh, I wouldn’t go that far. I don’t love the GV80 or the refresh to the G90. This is the first new Genesis they’ve done that I really like.

What I mean is they need to make the GS more of a fastback coupe like looking car

Is this a production vehicle? If so, that’s amazing.

Hiring of key designers from Lamborghini, Audi, and BMW is definitely paying dividends.
