[@jr1885]

I find it funny how some people still joke about Genesis being “just a Hyundai,” when they do such an amazing job of differentiating their luxury products from Hyundai. These vehicles actually have wow factor which is something I can’t say about the Japanese competitors.

Especially Lexus. 😂 Lexus and Toyota are the joke of the industry

Looking at you Lexus

[@jr1885]

@@janthonyht93 haha, yup. I was especially disappointed with the new GX. I was expecting it to have a really nice interior, but it just feels adequate.

[@joshualewis2367]

So true that’s why I don’t like the new Lexus they don’t feel special no more like they did back in the days where it feels different then a Toyota now these day it feels not so fancy. That’s why my favorite luxury brand have been the new genesis brand Acura and Infiniti those actually feel different then the normal brands Lexus should be ashamed with them selfs.

[@isaac198428]

Personally, I’d buy a Genesis instead of a BMW/Mercedes/Audi/Lexus/Acura or Infiniti in this class of vehicles. Love the standard technology and overall quality of these vehicles. GV70 is my favorite crossover being a little smaller.

[@darkivaz-aaa1145]

Genesis opens 26 new standalone dealership across america which is now 35 standalones. We need more.

[@Chitwn81]

Yep that's why I haven't got one. My friend has one and the wait time to get service is atrocious due to limited capacity at the dealer. The Hyundai dealership has also serviced his car but they often don't have a clue on what to do which means they have to keep the car for long periods why they're on the phone with a Genesis tech.

[@wbwynn]

This is the key to beating Lexus and the Europeans

[@JohnLee-db9zt]

I used to have a Lexus ES350 F Sport. In the end, I was so disappointed it was just a rebadged Camry with better interior and stiffer suspension. It was sluggish and drove like a boat. Got rid of it after a year. I drove a Genesis G70 and G80. Couldn’t believe the difference in quality and drivability. Drove and felt like nothing like any Hyundai. RWD architecture of the Genesis instead of the FWD of the Lexus made a huge difference.

[@naveenthemachine]

Good choice. If I wanted a gussied up Camry I’d get a Camry XSE v6 that’s gussied up enough

[@DisneyMusicVideos]

Totally agree with you. I've driven a ES350 a few times as a loaner & I didn't like it at all, felt too much like a Camry like you said. I currently own a 2016 RWD GS350 F-Sport which is a far superior car IMO.

[@mackfar27]

I used to own a 2013 Lexus GS 350 AWD and went with a Genesis G80 and never looked back.

[@tonemack2981]

People are still gonna say oh it's just a Kia, Hyundai, these are close minded stuck in the past folks who are not leaders and just follow everyone else, and get what everyone else has. They are snoody and bothered of what people think of them. Remember all companies were crappy and cheap at one point, it took time to become what those companies are now. So stop with the it's just a Hyundai, Kia. Remember at one point your Acura is just a Honda. Your Lexus is just a Toyota. Your Infinity is just a Nissan. Your Lincoln is just a Ford. Your Caddy is just a GM etc, you get the idea. All companies were crap at one point I remember my Toyota being a rust bucket. Get your heads out your butts open your eyes and experience the experience for yourself, you will be surprised.

[@changsta2004]

I live in Korea. I owned the 2021 G70, got married and changed to the 2023 G80. Now that I have a baby, I am considering the GV80 vs the X5. The comfort and luxury is better for the GV80 vs the X5. However, the handling and drive thrill is much better in the X5. The X5 also has much better mileage, especially the X5 50e, so I was leaning towards the X5.. However, there is a leak/rumour that Genesis/Hyundai is making a 2.5 Turbo/Hybrid engine , which will be available for the 2026 year. I am considering on holding on to my G80 until then.. really liking the new GV80 but I hope they can get a better engine in this quickly..

My 2021 Genesis GV80 Prestige 3.5 has been flawless; I would like to see wireless Apple CarPlay and massage functions on the passenger seat. Digital rear view mirror. It competes very well with the Europeans and better than Lexus. No one talks about the great warranty…5 years or 60K miles and 3 year maintenance included.

[@MercOne]

It's a fine vehicle that doesn't quite match the best int he class in everything, but for the average buyer this is a supreme vehicle. The only real problem Genesis has is their dealer body. Once they move out the of the Hyundai dealers nationwide they will be a roll if this type of product keeps coming. Remember there is a six figure EV convertible coming an a giant GV90 EV SUV. It's only just starting.

[@flar5022]

Genesis As a car company is only 9 years old I wish people would remember that The dealerships Will come It takes time to build a nationwide network of dealerships How many dealerships did the other car companies have when they were only 9 years old

@@flar5022 Lexus, Acura and Infiniti all started from day one with their own dealerships in the USA. You gotta do better with the excuse making. Genesis is not a "car company", it's brand under an already established car company.

I think the whole "statement grill" thing is kind of played out. I'm hoping future Genesis models go more GV60-ish rather than continue to enlarge the grill. Lexus, BMW and others have played it to a fare-thee-well. Perhaps the EV future helps, but I'm starting to doubt that.
