Well The Genesis has the same 5yr/60,000 mi basic, 10 yr/100,000 mi powertrain warranty as the Hyundai lines so if you buy new/CPO the warranty would have you covered. This is the first gen where Genesis is branching off but the last 2 gens of Hyundai vehicles have been extremely reliable and affordable to own. So the g80, gv80 would likely be similar.
I'd wait a few gens before buying. I definitely don't want to spend $50k to be a guinea pig
I'm older and remember when Lexus came out, it was a hit off the bat. Same with Acura, but you have to remember that was the era when people wanted to be different, and it wasn't just about how much the car costs. Jetta, suzuki, Acura legend, Benz, audi, bmw, jeep Cherokee, volvo s70 all were the cars that were popular with dealers because of the looks, and fast engines. Now, people just want to look rich so they want the top 3 German brands or bentleys. Once fly people buy genesis things will change. In Korea its a top seller.
Nah, I’d think he liked the car and bought it. Nothing more, nothing less. I had a coworker “flex” in a luxury vehicle carrying a designer purse then turn around and complain about not having enough money to get to work.
If this is what he can afford and he’s okay with it. Cool. Nothing wrong with staying in your lane.
Stay humble brehette
Everything on the Lex is contemporary. You just pick out the disk reader and dashboard clock to call it "dated". Also, it's a vehicle that actually exists at market, not a concept slated for next year.The new RX is old as shyt. No apple car play and the interior is dated as fukk. You can say that about a lot of lexus interiors. Well built cars but look old as fukk and dated tech, just like Infiniti.
This is shameful for a 2020 luxury vehicle

What? The Lexus is so old compared to the gv80 in texhnologyEverything on the Lex is contemporary. You just pick out the disk reader and dashboard clock to call it "dated". Also, it's a vehicle that actually exists at market, not a concept slated for next year.
On top of that, it won't do anything that the Lexus doesn't. The RX 350 is a 3.5 V6, the GV80 is a 2.5 V6 and the 3.5L is considered an "upgraded powertrain" when 3.5 V6's are already an industry standard, lmfao. You're talking nothing but aesthetic.
My man, of course I know Lexus has safety assist, but it doesn't compare in quality to Hyundai,they are the best in the business, and some stuff comes standard not optional. As far as the filter it's not so simple as "an air filter", it connects with when you are in certain areas. For example when you are going through a tunnel,.the car knows because of GPS, so it closes the windows automatically then recirculates the clean air from the air filter.
Lexus has the same exact things and it's proven technology. Lexus implemented keep assist in 2016. Mark Levinson sound systems with 15 speaker 7.1 audio with Harman Clari-fi, LSS+A, Remote Touch Enform. You're just naming proprietary technology that exists in every vehicle in it's class, just obviously....by a different name.
I'm calling it a concept because Genesis is referring to it the same way on their own website.
Surely you're not telling me filters are justifying it being $6k-$16k more expensive than it's RX 350 comparison (Going of RX's 44k MSRP)?
If Lexus has the same reliability, performance and practicality for a lesser expense whereas the Porsche Caynenne Turbo, BMW X5, Audi SQ7, SQ8 have better performance for bigger expense. I'm really not seeing how the 50k-60k price on this (per car and driver) is getting justified?
Exactly nothing justifies the price. There are no innovations on this vehicle. Cars already have buttons to recirculate "cleaner air."(For cleaner air, set car vents to 'recirculate,' study says)My man, of course I know Lexus has safety assist, but it doesn't compare in quality to Hyundai,they are the best in the business, and some stuff comes standard not optional.

As far as sound system, again.lexicon is among the best. Lexicon is the upper end of the Harman Kardan for cars, iirc. The writing system is much easier to use then the remote in Lexus because you can just write what you want while doing something else. Audi has it too, but you have to pay to have it,.comes standard in the gv80.
The whole point of the genesis brand is for people who want the best, but want reliability, a cheaper price then the other brands, and unique styling.
Genesis as a brand is the shyt! Their g70 is one.of the best for sporty driving. The g80 is a balance between sedan, and sports,.while the g90is up there with the s class for a much cheaper price, and being unique because most people don't drive g90's
I like genesis because it gives me the late 80's, and early 90's, vibe when cars were changing from American brands like cadillac being the shyt for money makers to foreign cars taking over. Because crack, and coke was the business for the streets, more young people started buying cars, so they would buy foreign to be different, and those cars had better technology then American cars. If you look at the movie "paid in full", they had the foreign cars,.and.jeeps, driving through the street with everybody outside, that shyt was real. I used to just watch in awe, and wanted to be like them when I got older, thats why I know so much about cars!
The memories
Not everyone has a place for an electric vehicle.
