I’m entertained by those who are certain it is a Bentley. If some imagine it is - it might as well be (without the insane initial price tag and the scurrilous maintenance overhead).

Benchmark for what? Genesis does a GREAT job of design, really great. Unfortunately, to paraphrase an iconic popular quote from TOP GUN " their design team writes checks that engineering and production can't cash" in their consumer product. As a 3 time Genesis owner I have experienced build quality go from superb in the previous generation G80 to very poor in my current version. Worse, to quote a Genesis (Hyundai) Engineer who recently tested my car, all the 20 some odd snaps crackles and pops I experience in the cabin of my new G80 Prestige are "normal" because of the large amount of plastic parts used to construct the cabin. This is a clear indication that Genesis (Hyundai's) focus has moved to "form over function" and build quality has therefore suffered immensely. The focus on customer satisfaction of Genesis (Hyundai) National Customer Service is sub par especially considering the fact that their mission statement is to exceed expectations. The trouble there is they don't really mean their customers expectations, they mean their own. This is not a customer oriented company by any stretch.

This is one hell of a car and one hell of a review. Love it guys!

[@jaredshelton4718]

I can’t wait to get behind the wheel of one of these 🤤

The Genesis family (G70; G80; G90; GV70; GV80) is now the most beautiful family in the world imo! Can't wait for the GV90... I think it'd blow everyone away...

[@JDere]

My S550 is 13 years old and I was contemplating a replacement. After reading all the hypes about the Genesis--G80, G90's, I've decided to stop by the Genesis dealership to have a look. The dealership is co-located with the Hyundai's. There were three Genesis's inside the show room. 1 each of the G70, G80, and G90. There were no one inside the showroom. After checking the G80 and while we were inside the G90, a salesman finally appear. He didn't seems to know much about the vehicle but ask if I would Iike to have a test drive. I told him I want to drive one exactly like the V8 in the showroom. He said there's one in the parking lot and he went to get the key and brought the vehicle to the door. Then he told me it's not the V8, but the turbo V-6. While we sat in the car, he went on to take care of something for another lady in a SUV. We sat there and waited close to ten minutes and finally decided to leave. We took the key and went inside the showroom but there were no one to hand the key to. As we exit, we finally saw the same salesman getting his lunch probably from his wife. The point of all this is, no matter how great Hyundai make the Genesis, if they are to compete with BMW, Mercedes and Lexus, their dealership have a long ways to go. I will never buy a Genesis now because of their customer service. People who will spend $80K to buy a car do not want to be treated like he's buying a Hyundai. If I can't even get someone's attention when I want to buy the car, what kind of service would one expect if I encounter problems with the vehicle! BTW, the dealership is Red McComb Genesis located in San Antonio, Texas. The date was May 6, 2021.

[@garyjohnson8120]

You will pay an additional $20k for that customer service...not to mention the extra money for the cost of service. It's your money.

[@joshuaisrael9397]

They don't go to dealerships, they drive the cars, that comment was regarding the performance of the vehicle. This isn't Google Reviews.

[@WetPig]

This is dealer specific. They don't get money if they don't sell cars so they ought to be concentrated on the customer. Probably a bad dealer.

[@dustinwilson8459]

I've owned 3. You wont be at the dealership much. I don't need to spend $30k more for someone to make me feel good when at the dealership. Wife has Lexus & service for sure much better at dealership. She also spends more in 1 year for maintenence than I have ever spent on the lifetime of any Genesis ive owned.

Korean companies are so dynamic. I remember Korean brands were below average not so long ago but suddenly on top all over winning the market. How can they do this in such a short time...

[@crazyturbo4286]

Couldn't agree more, Korean cars are really popping of right now. I honestly feel happy for Genesis, Hyundai, and Kia.

To think they started shipping their first car to the US when I was about 5 yrs old. Then again, the country went from worst poverty to the top 10 wealthiest countries after 1960s. I means it’s all pretty nuts.

I agree with your comment about the gear shift and the flywheel for the infotainment. I've caught myself a few times grabbing the wrong one, but I think you will master it after a few weeks of driving. I absolutely love my GV80.

[@ahemgee9542]

I sat in this at Good FOS yesterday. For the price and class the interior design , quality and materials are absolutely amazing. Much better than the E Class or 5 Series. Coming from a Mercedes fan.

[@MegaShotyme]

Favorite car “bang for the buck”. I have a ‘18 G80S and still happy with my gen. If I had the money to upgrade, I would pick up the ‘21 G80 and the ‘21 GV80.

Top Gear level editing and script! So great!

[@131edwards]

My 2012 Genesis 5.0 V8 that sports 429 horses and 376 ft pounds of torque is a sleeper sedan than can take an on-ramp with the best Europe has to offer. And, another year to go on the Hyundai 10 yr warranty! Maybe next year I’ll look for a new car. Nah, my 2012, an original Genesis model, still get looks and compliments. It’s timeless.

[@iSOBigD]

They really killed it with this one. I love the interior and I think the G80 has the best use of their new exterior design (the GV80 looks too fat/stretched vertically and the G90 doesn't have the smooth flowing lines across the entire car and those wide fenders). I would disagree that the E class or 5 series can do better, not at this price point. You'd have to option them out and step up to bigger engines which makes them tens of thousands of dollars more expensive for similar specs.

[@dgw7732]

Best intro yet!! “Means to an end”

[@NYRavage]

I finally have this car in my possession as of two weeks ago, and it's as amazing as I thought it would be.

[@allenmovies]

I know the G90 was just recently refreshed, but I'd love to see it updated yet again to match how upscale & modern the G80 is, which is just STUNNING. The G90 needs a panoramic sunroof and that new infotainment ASAP!

[@kellyoubrejr544]

I don't see any "inspired by BMW" in the grill, the grill is sorta inspired by the logo of the brand.

The intro 💀💀😂😂

[@rousseau327]

Hyundai/Genesis have come a seriously long way

[@tool8337]

In terms of design and overall package, I would go 1) E450, 2) G80, 3) 5-series, 4) CT5-v, 5) Lexus GS, 6) A6 (shame about the piano black otherwise would be higher). Loving the design of the Genesis. If only the BMW had better aesthetics in that interior to match that quality. Also, the Caddy is very *cool* but would benefit from the interior of the new escalade with the OLED screens. Toyota needs to come into the 21st century with their tech and ride because the lexus exteriors are sooo cool. Audi, SMH, the last gen cars were so perfect but the current gen just sucks with the black plastic, rev limiters, locking out of features on certain packages, only available 2 interior colors, fake vents (look at that hood) etc.. Its so unnecessary because they know how to make good cars. E-class is just perfect as long as you opt out of black interior and piano black center console. Only thing it needs is ventilated seats in the back.

[@mik55tv22]

I actually love that steering wheel it looks unique and different in a classy way

[@alanparsonsfan]

Great Top Gear-level work! One thing you did NOT mention was the *appalling* amount of time and money that goes to BMW and Mercedes garages once their cars get past the warranty period. I already know this has to be a great car. Why? I bought an older Azera 5 years ago, and it has only been in the shop for 1 recall. I've put 50,000 happy miles on it. Ask Tyler Hoover of Hoovie's Garage how much time in the shop and money a 2007 Mercedes or BMW would have cost over the last 5 years. The bloom has been of the rose of high end German motoring since the late 90's. My beast has 165K on it, and I smile every time I fire it up, cruise, hit the gas or listen to the Infinity sound system. As good as mine have been, I expect these newer ones are terrific---and reliable...

[@TheDolkNess]

They're definitely getting close...I mean really close! However, as close as they get, and do I dare say, surpass the Germans for value, drive & creature comforts, there will ALWAYS be a loyal following for the Tri Star, Blue/White Propeller, and the 4 rings. But as time passes...things might just change. Well done on this Genesis...looks marvelous for the value.
