      Weird how no one calls an Audi a VW, even though it’s the same brand. Or a Lexus a Toyota. Or an Infiniti a Honda. Or a BMW a Mini. They’re not the same vehicles, they’re not even engineered the same. Your argument doesn’t work here and it has never worked for any other luxury brands.

    I agree Ben, the ultrawide screen on the dash just looks lazy and not luxurious. When there is an instrument cluster wrapped in leather and infotainment set apart it gives more of a custom look that follows the expectations of luxury. I also feel the powertrain is decent but a little underwhelming.

  • @philhenderson3516

      In fact, that large screen is the reason I'm pulling the trigger on a 2025. I REALLY don't like the new screen graphics or fonts and, IMO, it completely destroys the flowing design ethos that so attractively and cohesively tied the interior together in the 2022-2025 models.

    The steering wheel is a great change. The old steering wheel looked like it belonged in Grandma's Buick. The new screen as your instrument cluster is lousy. Luxury should be gauges that look like watches. Any mainstream brand can have a digital screen.

    This title is exactly why the Genesis brand will slowly but surely fail, they lack a strong brand identity, originality, and their products lack Korean heritage. They’re just cheaper built carbon copies of the German offering that the developers based them off of, so unless you’re some huge Hyundai/Kia fanatic you’re not likely to opt for a gussied up RWD Palisade over a Range Rover, GLS, Escalade, Q7 or X7. When the opportunity arrives to reward yourself with a top tier luxury vehicle very few are searching for the nearest Hyundai dealership to live with a GV80 outside of its bumper-to-bumper warranty.

Oh and then there’s reliability. Nice vehicles though!
