Be safe and happy motoring.
yes. I thought I would enjoy the sport model. But I found out I wanted the cloud ride more. Thanks.

I can understand your feeling on that. When I get on the interstate, I turn off the lowering from the ASC, and the ride is smooth like riding on a cloud, very luxurious. Except for the harshness of my worn out Pirellis. But around town I lower the car down, and the ride is still quite good, better than expected. I'm betting your F-Sport ride was not even as good as my car lowered down. And yes, I would find that to be not worth it, and would want a smoother, more luxurious ride.

I'm hoping you check back in with us from time to time, to let us know how you're enjoying your new car.

I just realized why it is you've fallen out of love with your LS, besides the stated reasons.

NO EXHAUST VENTS. If you had of done that, you would have forgotten all about the ride issues! Promise.

Tomorrow the paperwork is being FedEx’d. Should be official by Saturday when they receive all the papers back. Here’s a sheet of the car’s options.

Nice G90. It is hard for me to tell from the video, is the exterior color black or dark gray? Are any of the options listed above not available on the 2017 LS?

That's correct. I wasn't going to settle until I found what I wanted. This is EXACTLY what I wanted.

The exterior and interior are black. I really can't tell you what the 2017 LS doesn't have that this one has. But I'm sure you could take my report which came from carfax and put it up against a 2017 LS carfax. That would be your best bet.

You can spec a 2017 LS out the same as that G90, it would just be very rare and more expensive. Think of it as a UL LS460L with no air suspension.

It's not clear from the spec sheet, but does this 2017 G90 have 360 surround camera, which was not available in the 2017LS. Also not sure about CarPlay and Android Auto. That would be another plus for the G90 if available.

it does have 360 cameras. Doesn’t have car play. Another item I’m looking forward to is front and rear wireless charging.

"Head's up" display? I hope that was written by the dealer, and not Hyundai/Genesis.

May be a grammatical error( this was from CARFAX), but the heads up display is pretty remarkable. 😉

So I feel very very lucky. My wife and I agreed that there is no rush to purchase another vehicle since I spend so much time at home which is where we both work. I'm certainly leaning toward a Genesis G90 and we'll see how that goes. If you ever plan on selling your car, go on the Carvana app or online and get a quote. They offered me $4,000 more than the other similar places. Cheers!
Just sold my Toyota to Carvana. Excellent experience. They gave me 25% more than the Lexus dealership offered me as a trade (Same with Mercedes dealership offer). They were honest, professional, punctual and paid me on the spot. Hardly looked at the car before they loaded it up, though admittedly it was in excellent shape. No more trading in for me ever again.

I had the same exceptional experience. I would have done a trade with them, but they didn't have the car I wanted. Highly recommend giving Carvana a shot before trading your car in to the dealer.
