ok soyfen(!?) redline guy mentioned gv70 in the walkaround i think.

somehow doesn't look anywhere near as big, but anyway, i'm sure you're right.

In a way, Genesis already made an "SUV coupe" with the GV60 and its fastback, but the execution on this looks so much better and less egg-like IMO. Might have to do with the RWD proportions and double spoilers.

gv60 is still rwd proportions.

While it's not as cab-forward as a FWD car, it's still much stubbier and missing the "prestige gap" between the front axle and dash of a RWD ICE vehicle.

Agree that it's a very different vehicle. Q8 also has frameless windows and significantly less headroom even in the front seats than the Q7.
