Thanks man! I appreciate you having my back!

yeah, until you open the door and see that god awful, Chrysleresque steering wheel.

@@catguy64 Absolutely, i noticed it too 😩

I am so glad that you like it!

Cool username

Taillights remind me of the Avalon

Thanks for sharing your experience with this one.

Very good call!

Doesn't handle like a BMW. & if you took it on the Autobahn it would no way sit on the road at high speeds like the Beemer.

@@guitarexpert2245 depends which bmw. this v6 model competes with the 540i. i have driven the 540i inline 6 i would like to drive a v6 g80 to see how it compares. i would imagine it would hold its own pretty well, it’s got more power and seems like it handles well

Why is it a quality product? It's not a Lexus or Acura quality. I have friends who have them and have electrical issues. & they don't hold their resale value like a Lexus.

Alan K I've owned 2 Lexus (IS, and still have the RX) and two Acuras so comparing them all, each have "quality" in a lot of areas. Genesis is still young, but as a G70 owner, I can only tell you my perspective based on fit and finish, Nappa leather, aluminum, they are quality focused. Miy Acura had to be repainted due to a factory defect, the Lexus IS (2016) temperature control had a mind of its own some days. Each luxury brand delivers some sort of quality promise.

@@guitarexpert2245 I would disagree. I ordered a 2015 Lexus GS350 with all the bells and whistles, and was disappointed with features I felt it should have had, especially for what I paid. I just purchased my 2021 G80 3.5T Prestige Pkg, and paid about $6K less ($69K) OTD and it has everything I wished the GS350 did. I paid $75K OTD for the GS350 (with a maintenance plan) and only got $24K for the trade about 3 years later. When I was shopping for a new vehicle, I considered the Lexus ES and several other comparable luxury models in the same price range, and the G80 had so many more features. The G80 can park its self and if some loser parks too close your car making it impossible to get in; you can simply remote start the G80 and back it up with the key fob until it is far enough out to get in. No need to squeeze through the door trying to not hit the car next to you or having to crawl through the other side. The quality of the G80 is so much better. First the performance: both are AWD, the Lexus had 306 HP with a 5.9 0-60; the G80 has 375 HP with a 5.2 0-60. The styling of the Lexus was a sporty "want-to-be"; the G80 is much more luxury and has the look of a much more expensive vehicle. The interior trim is heads above the Lexus, the wood trim is really nice and feel like real wood (and yes I do like to rub it), the infotainment is bigger and much nicer as well. The G80 Connective service is free for the first 5 years, and they will pick up your vehicle leaving you with a loaner until they return yours after service. Lexus makes you pay for their connective service after a year and you cannot remote start the vehicle without the paid service and if your lucky you might get a loaner when you take it in for service. Obviously, I haven't traded my G80, so I can't speak to its resale; however, I don't think I'll be disappointed with the G80 as I was with the GS350 and won't want to trade it in after 3 years. I also can't speak to its reliability, but it comes with a good warrantee and the first three years of maintenance is covered for "free". Overall the G80 is a "better" buy than the GS350. I haven't owned any of the other luxury model sedans in the $70K OTD price range, but would find it hard to believe any of them would give you a bigger bang for your buck.

@@walterhayden4705 Well the Genisis for the first 100k maybe but that Lexus can go 300-400k virtually without much maintenance. That Genisis after 100k, starts to fall apart. But if you don't keep your cars that long then i guess it really doesn't matter.

LOL Thanks for letting me share some laughs with you!

@@RaitisRides what do you daily drive?

If I had this car I would rub that wood every day... I’m sorry I had to. I couldn’t resist.

Lmao you beat me to it! 😆😆

@TWINK THE TROLL Lmao

One of our local dealers is getting theirs June 24th crossing my fingers

They captured some aliens alive and squeezed their technology out of their brains.

It’s called going for numbers and sacrificing build quality and reliability

They got a massive help from the Germans

@@rahimi4762 that hyundai is 1000 times more reliable than a bmw.

@@RaitisRides paraphrasing your words😄

Thanks for letting us bring it to you1

if they reliable they will blow BMW and Mercedes out the water

@@louis4881 most people lease new luxury cars so reliability isn’t that important.

BMW maybe... Mercedes no way haha

They gonna steal sales from Lexus maybe but not from BMW. Most ppl who want a BMW will not consider a Genesis period. BMW leads all luxury sales for a reason

I am so glad that I could share this one with you!

@@RaitisRides that is my favorite car by far with the budget Under 70k

I want one too🔥🔥🔥🔥

I want one but too expensive for me 😥

So true!

Yeah having someone else’s leftovers with 15k per year, not knowing if they were the type to fly over speed bumps, potholes etc. Even if you waited 3 years you’re probably going to finance it for 4years which means by the time you pay it off the car will be 7years old with around 105k on the ODO and that’s being generous.

That's why you get a Carfax before you buy and get a professional mechanic you trust to go over the car before you even consider buying it. If you'd rather spend $66,000 that you don't have and finance it so it costs you closer to $80,000 to only end up depreciating to half in a few years then by all means go ahead. Most people are all about the now not the long term.

@@TheStruggleistooReal I financed a $100,000 range rover at less than 1% APR. If you’re going to pay $10k+ in interest then you have much bigger financial issues and should be getting a Sentra. Carfax will tell you it’s been damaged and repaired but it’s not gonna tell you how the person drove it

actually rather the opposite of spending $100,000 on a car is considered normal to you.You're probably in another country but the average interest rate here is 5.27%. No car dealership will do a loan for 1% but hey your money do and spend as you please. I'd rather have the money invested in assets that actually go up in value not down like a high end luxury car. Let me know how much it's gone up in value 5 years from now in addition to all the reliability issues you'll have with those type of cars.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one from your experience!

You are so very right about that!

It's a ton of infotainment screen!

@@RaitisRides I watched your first genesis sedan review a couple months ago before I bought one

@@trdrav4 Yes, along with the CLA shooting brake and the Arteon R shooting brake! They all look amazing! But, "AmErIcAnS dOn'T lIkE wAgOnS" and therefore we don't even get the option. Poo on them!

It really is!

Thanks for sharing that great input from your experience David!

Competes with the M550i? No. Watch the difference in "on throttle action" from Joe's review. Based on his review, and others, I bought one. If you haven't driven one, give it a try. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/npl8m5RltKjYqYk.html

@@uofan1 550i may be slightly better in performance thats about it though.

@@mikexcanxjerk Slightly? 😉 3.6 vs 5.0 0-60...553 vs 375hp...523 vs 391 pound feet of torque. Slightly?? I suggest you drive a G80, then drive an M550i...then let me know what you think. The G80 tech is great, but I'm more about performance...no contest.

M550 is v8. Nice try

I wish I could!

@@RaitisRides Keep up the great work, Joe 👍

@Joseph Payton Yes, much better than the XT6. Btw, the reason I said “for now” is because Cadillac did an awesome job with the Lyriq, they upped their game. 33 inch OLED display, futuristic tech, high-end materials. Definitely on par with the other luxury brands.

Yea for an example the gv70 looks better than the xt6 but the Escalade looks better than the gv80

Very true Brent!

The Stinger comes with the same spare wheel design.

Lol I used to sell those Buick’s haha I’m dying

😂😂

Oh yeah!

I have a feeling this engine is making 400hp. A simple tune would bump the power up plenty. I’m sure they are hardly putting much boost to the 3.5 just like the 3.3 in the Stinger.

@@Cgee3 could be they also want mileage and reliability. That's why they don't push it to the max. And the new engine will be same this v6 but retuned for 400bhp.
