Well for 2022 they are scrapping the V8 in favor of the 3.5 liter Twin Turbo V6. Torque comes in way lower than the V8 by quite a bit, V6 puts out 391 Tq @ 1300 rpm while the 5.0's tq comes in @ 383, 5000 rpm.

The one car that the G90 looks like that nobody has mentioned is the Rolls/Bentley sedan. The first time I ever saw this car back in 2018 was at a car show. The G90 was parked next to the Rolls exhibit and at first I thought that this must be their new model. Well, I recently bought a 2017 G90 and it is great. A reliable car that you can get for $35K that looks very similar to a $350K Rolls. Besides, I find the G90 sleeker than all the other competing models and it is not so ostentatious like the Rolls which is really meant only for royalty or snobs.

It's a beautiful car in and out. $75k is a lot of $$$ for a struggling brand like Genesis. I think anyone with $75k to throw around would prefer a more prestigious hood ornament. By the way, how did that EQUUS thing work out for Hyundai/Kia?

[@LearnAboutFlow]

Anyone with $75k to throw around cannot afford any of the German competition which are around $100K. You can criticize Equus because it was a transition car and a good one. Plus, the Genesis offers a host of amenities none of the competition does, including longer maintenance plan and a concierge service. Go ask your Mercedes dealer to pick up your car, leave you a loaner, have your car serviced, and then return you car valeted for FREE. You'll be laughed out of the showroom.
