based on a review?

[@pochoteco123]

Amazing to see you again. We missed you. Specially that Audi RS5 2013 review 🙌🏾

[@sasothestrategizer]

Happy New Year!!! I’ve been watching your videos for well over five years. I remember the video on the Audi R8 with the music in the background. Then I knew I had to go buy another Audi. Great work.

[@RosenthalAutomotiveCarReviews]

Happy New Year to you as well..:) Thanks so much for watching our videos all these years! We really appreciate it. Stay Safe..:) Steve

[@justSTUMBLEDupon]

Good review and thank you so much for doing a night drive and showing how the car operates while driving. Seeing the features working while driving is a good look

[@rosenthalstevek8869]

Thanks! Glad you enjoy our work and hope you Subscribe..:) Steve

[@leebacon3432]

No doubt. Love seeing a average height man as myself, continuing to give great reviews. Keep it going! Let me know when the diesel with green satin finish hits our shores, and I'm all in!

[@bz8232]

Best review yet on the GV80 this guy killed it!!! Can’t wait to get one in the beginning of summer!

[@jamesmakibbin5278]

Very good review. I've had my 3.5 Prestige model for about a month. I saw no mistakes in your review, other than that's a Prestige with 22 inch wheels. Most other reviewers make at least couple of small errors. We're on a road trip through the Utah National Parks right now. It is as comfortable and quiet as i hoped it would be. The engine has a ton of available power. Gas mileage sucks, as a normally frugal person, it's an adjustment for me. No regrets at all on purchasing it.

[@iwenyou]

Wow, welcome come back sir! You should be given more budget to cover more cars since this channel is one of the best car channels on youtube.

[@rosenthalstevek8869]

Thanks so much! I'd love a bigger budget.. But the boss says "NO". Maybe someday..:) Steve

[@Coupydog]

This is the SUV equivalent of a Fleetwood Brougham De'Elegance. I've never seen such timeless beauty paired with opulent luxury in an SUV under $100,000

[@AntonioBanderes77]

So happy with our new GV80, we went all out and purchased the Prestige with ALL the bells and whistles and boy are we happy this is an awesome car and for the price point for the top of the line car is great. We are in total luxury when we drive it, the safety aspects of the car make it as safe as any Benz. We get many compliments from people and have even noticed people taking pictures of it as well. Test drive one and you will see what a I mean. It’s fun to always be learning new things about what this can do…it’s really a smart car and I’m sure future models will only get better.

[@danidiamond]

Do you have a spare in yours? and do you have the prestige with an msrp of 72k?

[@AntonioBanderes77]

@@danidiamond Hi and Happy New Year, I haven't looked for the spare...But I will today now that you mention it. We paid around 80k for the car. And as an owner I can tell you the car is pretty awesome as compared to MB or BMW. I don't see very many on the road at all...Where we live.

[@danidiamond]

@@AntonioBanderes77 I'm so happy for you man. It's a car very few are fortunate to experience and understand but with time people will recognize like bmw and a Benz. I had a g80 and want a gv80 now. When you can, can you please the trunk under the second flap to see if you have a spare?

[@wizipitz9161]

So Beautiful! I love it. That will be my next SUV Advance Prestige....

[@mxyfn]

Great review! Love that you test drove the vehicle at night unlike the other reviews I've seen. I'm new to your videos and will subscribe.

HAHAHAHAHAHA @6.42 THAT KILLED ME!!!!! hahahahaha..... SO nice to see you again Steve!!!! Love your informative, entertaining and funny work!!!! Keep it going Sir!!!

[@nickstark8640]

Nice review on a very nice vehicle. One thing was funny though. That GV80, at least the one being photographed, was on the 22” Wheels and not the 20”s like was said.

[@djlashman]

Excellent review !!! This was by far the BEST review of the GV80 that I've seen and I'm also really glad that he didn't fall off that speed bump while they were flashing the different prices.....LOL!!!

[@rosenthalstevek8869]

Thanks for your kind words. Yes, not to worry... No car reviewers were hurt or injured during the filming of this video..:) Steve

[@trinisuprazee]

[@S3venthsin]

I’m pretty sure that’s a prestige there with 22 inch rims that he’s got there..great review as always

@@rosenthalstevek8869 absolutely! Your 2013 S4 review was part of the reason I went with a 2013 S5. Thank you

[@bruschmidt9943]

The only fau paux i can point out is where they mounted the rear wiper arm. It takes too much prominence away from everything else done exquisitely. They need to mount it under the rear window wing & get it out of sight! 😎

[@phlotographer]

kind of like the Aviator or the Tucson -- my biggest dislike when it could have been done for this luxury vehicle at the price.

[@craigkoch4585]

Nice job! Thank you.

[@rosenthalstevek8869]

I have a great audio/video crew and will pass your compliment on to them! I'd love to do more voice over but I'd have to really enjoy the book first..:) Steve

[@rosenthalstevek8869]

Missed ya'll too! We have another one in the editing process. Should be up soon. Thanks..:) Steve

Glad to see you again, been a while. :)

[@gonnabeok]

Perfect post-pandemic purchase of first need.

[@MrKarmapolice97]

I wish they would do a sport version and drop the V8 in it or add twin turbos to the V8 bump the HP up to around 475

[@Stratoszero]

Wow thats nice. I don't think we get these in the UK do we?

[@tootsiejoon]

Mother in law in third row seat....that just killed me laughing 😂 🤣😂🥲😂🤣

[@alfredneuman6488]

I look forward to when they make a convertible sports car.

[@phlotographer]

how about massage seats? turn leading moving headlights? self leveling headlights resulting in the lights always lighting the road and not the sky? seldom see any reviewer mentioning these options but nice that you mentioned the below console storage which is perfect for lady passenger's purse storage.

[@derrekb4501]

That front license plate is almost a deal breaker

[@corettamckinney4476]

I'm planning on purchasing one of these.

[@MrLondon18]

This is a vehicle to save Tiger Woods life so if it’s good enough for him it’s better than the rest of us 👍👍😁it get my vote.!!

[@victorcal70vv]

Go get a Genesis y'all

[@Arwar555]

Excuse me...but wheres the spare wheel when we have a puncture in the middle of nowhere? All that luxury isnt going to be of much use then!

[@OrlandoHollywood]

You absolutely right

[@trith72]

It’s in the rear cargo area under the flooring mat. Unlike Mercedes and BMW which dont provide a spare, just run flats and a prayer you aren’t 50 miles from a tire shop, Genesis comes standard with one.

[@rrrogster]

Less hype and more objectivity please. So the infotainment system is like an Iceberg rising? 14.5" screen? But it's only 2" high. I think Genesis already has some slick advertising on the way. This isn't one of them, but he's trying just the same.

[@rosenthalstevek8869]

Objectively speaking...the GV80 is one heck of a machine inside and out...especially for the price...in my humble opinion. Now if you take the size of the ocean and the size of actual icebergs...and make the corresponding size to ratio calculation with the GV80 dash... Then the 14.5" screen rising two whole inches (or more) up out of the dash is quite impressive to say the least!!! I stand by my review...and thank you for watching it and your helpful feedback..:) Steve

[@lowlanz]

You are advertising your lack of knowledge lol. Screen sizes are based on the diagonal length of a screen, which means that if it has 14.5" of screen size, it doesn't matter what shape it is. The area of the screen is the same regardless of the ratio. You should know this if you have learned anything about Pythagorean theorem. You must have thought that the size is measured by its widths didn't you haha. Try educate yourself before picking on others

[@rosenthalstevek8869]

@@lowlanz Wow... After allllll these years I finally know how to measure a TV screen, PC monitor, or even a vehicle's Infotainment or instrumentation cluster screen! That's amazing! I can't thank you enough!! I was wondering... If it's not too much trouble... Could you teach me how to measure a vehicle's Ground Clearance too?!?!? Because that's way beyond my comprehension...especially if it has anything to do with calculating the hypotenuse of a right triangle...which I try not to do if I can help it. Thanks..:) Steve P.S. I don't pick on people. I respond to their comments.
