Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the NEW TopGear. This is absolutely hands down a better show than anything TopGear USA or regular TopGear is putting out. Jason and Randy do not need a third, this is awesome just as it is. Congrats Hagerty on a job well done.
@@air-headedaviator1805 True. Both teams have great Humour, and keep it very entertaining and informative. And they make you wanna have the regular cars too.
Hearing those words come out of Randy's mouth had me nearly pissing my pants in laughter. Thank you Jason and Randy for teaming up like this. You guys together are a stellar pair of car guys and you both are making these productions second to NONE.
If I could, I will watch the entire ICONS series on a movie screen in a cinema. The quality and execution on these videos are insane 👏👏👏 absolutely brilliant, stunning job by the crew
I can relate to being impressed with Hyundais progress over time. 1988 I was bangin around in a cheap hyundai 4 door that was crap but somehow never left us stranded… fastforward to 2018 or so. I was at the airport in San Francisco trying to pick up my Jaguar XJ rental, and in classic Jaguar reality, it was broken. They offered me a Genesis G90 replacement and I didnt argue, had to leave asap. To my genuine surprise, the G90 was a capable highway car. The more time I spent driving it the more I was impressed. I kept thinking back to that 80s trashmobile and how far Hyundais come along. I do not own a G90 but I can say anyone who is in the market, go check one out, its worth a look!
Many years ago, I was renting a car and had to choose between a Buick something or other and a Hyundai XG300. The rental counter dude said I should try the Hyundai. It was far from perfect, but overall I was quite impressed with it. I treated it with the same lack of mechanical sympathy that Jason does when it's a corporate asset. It held up just fine.
LOVE that your video editor do not crop it to 16:9 letterbox and instead use Raw 2.4:1/21:9 when upload to youtube. I can use all my ultrawide 3840x1600 38inch display without some 3rd party plugin on chrome. To many youtubers who crop it to 16:9 when they use cinematic 2.4:1 footage. 👌👌
Props to Hagerty for giving these two a home. Cammisa is as great an automotive writer as they come, easily as good as Clarkson in his heyday. That last minute is pure joy, though. Thanks for that, I needed it.
The fact that they did it backwards through *turn 9 of Big Willow* is the amazing part. It was originally built in 1953 and feels like it hasn't been repaved since. I wore out a front-left wheel bearing last time I was there. Also, fantastic video. Jason, Randy, and the cinematographers are best in the business.
This video is not just any video. It’s a movie. It’s an occasion, it’s a masterpiece. We are blessed to have Hagerty in our timeline. Never. Stop. Driving. 🙌
I think this Genesis 22% growth has to be put into context a bit. Achieving such growth as a new brand with a fresh lineup and almost no sales to start with, is very different when compared to an 8% sales decrease of a competing legacy brand. Still very impressive vehicles and a great addition to the market that ultimately only benefits the end consumer.
I don't agree. Think of aiming to take market share away from the best cars in the world. Mercedes, Lexus, BMW, etc etc? Very tough going, yet Genesis makes huge progress. Impressive!
This is excellent. It feels like it cost a million dollars to produce. Ahem, please don't lump the 90s W140 SClass with the early 2000s W220. As a former 140 owner I will defend it to the death. The media made it a story that the upstart Lexus was a better car but the test of time has made one legendary and one just "nice". The 140 is amazing and it's too bad that it gets sullied by the crap quality of the 220.
Worked at a Hyundai dealer in service and you could really see in action, every day, how far they’ve come. From awful old Tiburons and Sonatas that wheezed and rattled around to drooling over the new GV80 when it launched, you could see in 15 minutes the advancement some automakers have failed to achieve in a century. Needless to say, I quite like my G70.
I watched the first :10 of this on my phone and realized I was doing such an injustice to the insane amount of effort the entire team put into it. I waited to get on a big screen with massive sound to truly appreciate this masterpiece. I'm this much closer to signing up to the Hagerty Club now, too. Honestly this is some of the best and meaningful production anything on the planet right now (plus it's about cars so that makes it better). Thank you to the team for making our days!
How is it possible that after every Icons or Revelations I keep saying the same thing: This is the best feature film I've ever seen. And everytime it's true. Congrats, Cammisa, Esposito, and the rest of the team at Hagerty doing these ones. Bravo.
Never. Stop. Producing. This is next level production. Jason and his Hagerty crew just keep getting better. I'm about as interested in a Genesis G90 as I am in getting monkeypox, yet I watched the whole thing grinning all along. Jason's right about one thing; Electric drivetrains will even the playing field between Asian and German manufacturers. I see a Kia, Hyundai, or Genesis without an engine as a car that has had it's biggest flaw exorcised.
I loved the Genesis brand the second I saw them. I’m a HUGE Lexus fan (I’ve owned 6 older models), but genuinely, I’d now have a Genesis over a Lexus, if I had the money for a new one. Every model just stands out so well from the crowd, and that G90 is a work of art! Amazing production on the video, by the way. 😎
I have had my 2015 Hyundai Genesis for 175,000 miles, a 2019 Genesis G90 for 100,000 miles no issues with either. Before the Genesis, I always had the Lexus GS’s, but the Lexus sedans just do not compete. Trading in the 2019 G90 for the 2024 this year. Mine as well hold onto the 2015 as a spare car. Always been a big fan of Lexus, even though I moved past their sedans, I have a 2018 GX460 with a lift on it…amazing truck!
These videos are a pure labor of love, can't get enough of the production quality and of Jason and Randy. Oh and that last minute probably gave me a few years of life back... that was amazing.
Not only does Hagerty produce arguably the best looking automotive content on UA-cam, maybe even the whole internet, they also stick to the facts! Jason and Randy truly do the best job showing us plebs what the automotive world has to offer, especially now that the Top Gear trio are basically doing solo projects.
Another great video! The chemistry between Jason and Randy is amazing and I laughed out loud at the "drag race". Jason has become my favorite automotive presenter lately
@@JK061996 most cars have a reverse gear that is a ratio somewhere between 1st and 2nd, so most cars in reverse can actually hit somewhere between 50 and 70. The acceleration will be slower than forwards, mostly due to the gear ratio difference but also things like more drag from the backwards shape and stuff like that.
This entire piece is incredible. It takes me back to the old days of TopGear. So dramatic and "over" produced - yet it feels authentic and cosy. Like a warm automotive content blanket. Nothing on the internet comes close. Im in awe. well done.
Many, many moons ago, the writing staff at Car and Driver could be trusted to not only give you creat car reviews and information but to also entertain you every month. You actually looked forward to receiving the magazine every month. They had a staff of writers that were at the very top of their game and a management team that let them run free to pull it off. While those days are gone, the folks from Hagerty are doing their damnedest to be a great automative channel. With humor, facts, technical information, and just great writing and visual information, you guys are hitting it out of the park on a regular basis. Kudos to the entire team. This episode is another link in a chain of great videos.
I was a subscriber in those days and I looked forward to my issue every month....Csere, Yates, Bedard, Phillips. And let's not forget the dean of automotive journalism, DED, Jr.
For me when Csaba left it changed. John Phillips, Patrick Bedard, PJ, Yates, Davis... I still have all those golden years from the 70s to the 90s and re read them often
Indeed, you guys are naming the greats. D.E. Davis ran a circus disguised as a car magazine and he collected quite the list of writers. I’ll always remember when Gordon Baxter, an avid flyer and one of the most popular writers for Flying magazine, was also writing about cars for C&D. He famously proved his thesis that in the state of Texas, even as big as it is, that if you positively had to be there you drove and didn’t fly. Pissed off a lot of flyers and made a lot of car types happy. Gordon was a crazy Texan and made me proud to be born here. But he was just one of a dozen greats. Not sure if any modern magazine, outside of perhaps Playboy, that had a better stable of writers.
Mind blowing level of editing, camera work, drone skills, sound editing, writers creativity, precision information distribution and so much more. I close the phone knowing I have access to these awesome videos anytime. Hats off to all the staffs involved in making this film. Thank you.
More than 10 years ago, Hyundai is always being a laughing stock of the automotive world, but now, it is so amazing how far they have come, and Genesis has become one of my favourite car brands ever. Bravo, Hyundai, Bravo.
This could be a global reference for genesis brand for the people (even the non-car guy) and a big lesson for lexus original HQ in Japan to not forget what they've achieved in the past. Perfect show with magnificent cinematography as always
It’s amazing how Genesis is now making much more desirable cars than Lexus . The G90 looks like a modern junior Bentley but the Lexus now just looks like a big Toyota .
Your videos are just on a different level !!! I just didn't realise how 21min just passed by 🤘. The background sound , the videos , the anchors and the quality of the content delevery are amazing 🙏
That Lexus LS next to the G90 was a great shot. To me it resembled a passing of the torch. I think Korean automakers will be in these year what Japanese automakers were in the past years
Koreans are definitely taking the lead in the automotive industry at the moment, and with the prototypes and teasers coming from the likes of Hyundai I doubt that it's going to change anytime soon.
As a second owner, of a 4 year old 1986 Hyundai Excel, l really appreciate how well and true this episode was. My wife and I have had one luxury car, ie. Jaguar XES, M3, X3M40i, and one Hyundai Tucson, Santa Fe, Palisade. Looking forward to replacing my X3 with the upcoming GV70 Electric. Hyundai Genesis has really come along way. This channel is easily the best automotive content of all time.
Don't forget that Gensis also has a ton of really great quality of life features. You can have your car back itself out of a tight parking spot so that you aren't potentially opening your door into someone else's car or attempting to get your things inside of it in a uncomfortable way. They have done a ton of Industry first things even if they still need refinement, its good to have a strong competitor in the market again
Great video. On my second G already. I'd like to see them step up their performance game a bit; not quite to the AMG, RS, M level just yet. But in terms of quality, price, style and... desirability, so much potential.
Jason and hagerty, I literally LIVE for these videos. One of the best times to consume automotive media since motortrend was free on UA-cam in the 2010’s. Bravo to everyone involved ❤
Cammisa (and Randy) along with the production team at Hagerty really are putting out the best car content on UA-cam. There are lots of reviewers out there but they’re all missing something. These guys are the only ones that come close to the old days of Top Gear. My only complaint? There’s not enough of it.
An excellent comparison analysis, value preposition, and historical content for aid. I have watched many reviews on The G90. This is one of the best I have seen. It leaves you well informed, entertained, and opened for compromise.
my dad's first car in the US was an Excel! It was a gen 1 with that rather nice styling. That thing could seriously haul luggage and furniture around like it was nothing. (and with winter tires it was a surprisingly good winter beater too.)
Icons? Cammisa and Pobst 👍🏽 Amazing combination of entertainment while being technically and historically informative. Definitely felt like how Top Gear used to be. Amazing production and editing as well. All around kudos. Keep it coming - it is absolutely appreciated! 👍🏽
The quality of the cinematic presentation and the charismatic charm of the presenter truly makes this series absolutely timeless, videos like this will be watched and rewatched for years to come. Well done 👍
This is the best automotive media being produced right now, full stop. The quality, the attention to detail, the production value, the informative nature mixed with a truly unique style, and the format is all utterly unmatched.
South Korean carmakers, like South Korea itself, are really coming into their own and you can kind of get that South Korean economic miracle vibe about them. Reminds me of the Japanese economic boom and emergence of the Japanese automotive superpowers, South Korean automakers are relentlessly pushing toward the same kind of emergence.
I enjoyed everything about this video, and I mean absolutely everything. So I came to the comments expecting praise for the video production, but not to the level that I saw when scrolling through. It's a testament to the output of this channel when most of the comments are about praising the production quality of the videos while few actually talk about the car - and the G90 isn't a bad car at all. Keep up the good work Hagerty team.
I really need Hyundai to release a new two door coupe already. My '12 Genesis 3.8 RSpec is getting old. Considering a Supra or Z next year, but I've really enjoyed owning my Genesis. It's given me zero issues in a little over a decade of ownership. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another Hyundai/Genesis, but I'm not a sedan or SUV guy. I need a manual coupe.
I've driven and owned Toyotas, Hondas, Nissan and Mazdas. Test drove the Genesis GV70 SUV (base 4cyl) a couple of weeks back and was floored (both figuratively and literally) at how good it was. 300hp is more than enough for my needs. Styling, performance, ride, technology, warranty...all simply amazing. Definitely looking to pick one up, though tough choice with the GV70 Electrified due out next year..
So, this is the kind of an era where we absolutely astonished by Hyundai and their amazing lineups. But puking and pulling our eyes for BMW new design language and company direction. Oh how times has changed!
I had to pause at 0:27, go to the comments, and ask myself, "Why am I teary-eyed?" It must be because I've always been one to root for the underdog and I can already tell this -- like all of Cammisa's work -- is going to be excellent. Seeing how far Hyundai has come since the days of the Excel just makes me very happy. It's also the fact that Jason Cammisa sets the bar very high when it comes to the quality of content he brings to the table. He's the S-Class of car reviewers. Now, back to the video... 🙂
Had a friend who bought one of the first Hyundai Excels. Went to take a drive, put the key in the ignition and the steering column fell off into her lap. Like...the WHOLE steering column. Quality car. They've definitely come a LONG way since then.
I loved this video. Not for the Genesis stuff, but for the fact that my first car ever was my Dad’s hand me down 1986 Hyundai Excel. I sympathize with Jason’s time driving this thing on the track, and can confirm the car has NO acceleration whatsoever! :)
I truly wouldn’t have been caught dead in a Hyundai product, and I admit I’ve had bias over the years. But recently my wife got a GV60 and it’s truly been an incredible car. I can’t wait for them to make a sporty coupe of sorts now!
The Genesis not only has ANC but has Dolby Atmos with 6 arrays of overhead drivers. I test drove one a week ago as I’m a very much involved in the high end a/v industry and am a car enthusiast as well and admittedly efficiently imaging overhead audio when the listener is sitting in the nearfield isn’t a simple process. The end result however was quite convincing, the power train was linear and produced more than ample power, the brakes were potent and the suspension was as good if not better than any car in its class. They’ve come quite a ways…
Even the blooper is better than nearly all the video content one consumes in a day, which probably doesn't sound like a massive achievement in today's day and age, until you realize that was the hosts blowing up what they intended to do!! That's all there is to know about why Jason and Randy sharing the screen just works!
Ahhh electric, that gimmicky gimmick that everyone's blabbing about. No thanks. :). Seen few peeps burn like witches in their cars like in 16th century here in Korea.
Electrc cars are not replacing petrol ones in our lifetimes. Full stop, they're not and they can't and we are already seeing car manufacturers walk back plans of going all electric asap.
I’m a satisfied LS460 owner (purchased new in 2008), and have been sad to see Lexus lose its way a bit in recent years. They are not ahead in terms of quietness, tech features, etc. and losing their edge in quality and reliability. At the same time, I think of Genesis as the new Lexus in terms of quality, appealing design and features. It’s sad to see V8s go extinct but electrification resets the entire game. Hyundai Group is well positioned for the electric era and electric Genesis vehicles will feature very highly on my future shortlists (GV90 is probably next). Another brand I would take a look at again in the new electric era will be Cadillac.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the NEW TopGear. This is absolutely hands down a better show than anything TopGear USA or regular TopGear is putting out. Jason and Randy do not need a third, this is awesome just as it is. Congrats Hagerty on a job well done.
Jason is a "third" all on his own! (See what I did there:)
Maybe add Henry Catchpole 🙏
For me it'd be Johnny "Late Brake".
I mean I always thought Thomas and James from Throttle House have great chemistry with Jason on past projects 👀
@@air-headedaviator1805 True. Both teams have great Humour, and keep it very entertaining and informative. And they make you wanna have the regular cars too.
The production on this show is incredible. Thank god Cammisa does free videos for us plebs
The fact that you just open youtube and watch such a content is just insaaaaaane!
Maybe thank Hagerty then, as they are footing the bill for this and giving us this great content. Not a non-existent deity. Ugh
Sshhhhh!! Don't give him any ideas man 😶
Man you are spot on
And it’s great to see in this video a celebrity like Steve Martin

@@ScorpioIsland he has both, Hyphen combines the vintage charm of May with Hammond's height lol

Mind blowing level of editing, camera work, drone skills, sound editing, writers creativity, precision information distribution and so much more. I close the phone knowing I have access to these awesome videos anytime. Hats off to all the staffs involved in making this film. Thank you.
More than 10 years ago, Hyundai is always being a laughing stock of the automotive world, but now, it is so amazing how far they have come, and Genesis has become one of my favourite car brands ever. Bravo, Hyundai, Bravo.
The Korean ford essentially. From worst to best.
Will never buy another Hyundai ever.
@@jarod3371 why??
Winning all kinds of automotive competitions too
@@alpha7ization He’s Scotty the mechanic. He’s a hater anything non-Japanese.
Heck yeah Jason. The G90 is a dang good luxury sedan and people deserve to know!
Best videos on tbe internet
This could be a global reference for genesis brand for the people (even the non-car guy) and a big lesson for lexus original HQ in Japan to not forget what they've achieved in the past. Perfect show with magnificent cinematography as always
Randy is a real pro. He's gonna hammer out those lines no matter what!
This needs to be a TV show already ! Absolutely amazing production
Welcome to what TV wishes it was!! Its better on youtube that way we can watch aaaaand comment/chat with other enthusiasts 🫱🏾🫲🏼
No one watches tv anymore this is better for them.
UA-cam is TV.
TV ruins everything.
Jason could seriously resurrect MotorWeek which has been dying a slow painful death.
I'm so glad Genesis is in the mix. Nice to have and see alternatives to the other/traditional brands. Competitive options and choices are good.
True 💯
GV60 has way better quality than any Teslas out there. Sad that people still buy Teslas and think they're buying a luxury car..
It’s amazing how Genesis is now making much more desirable cars than Lexus . The G90 looks like a modern junior Bentley but the Lexus now just looks like a big Toyota .
Your videos are just on a different level !!! I just didn't realise how 21min just passed by 🤘. The background sound , the videos , the anchors and the quality of the content delevery are amazing 🙏
Hyundai Genesis is literally doing the best things in the business right now. The value for money is incredible while beating some of its competition
I agree
Camissa and team make some of THE best videos on UA-cam. Absolutely stunning.
That Lexus LS next to the G90 was a great shot. To me it resembled a passing of the torch. I think Korean automakers will be in these year what Japanese automakers were in the past years
Koreans are definitely taking the lead in the automotive industry at the moment, and with the prototypes and teasers coming from the likes of Hyundai I doubt that it's going to change anytime soon.
It’s been said before but I just have to echo it: how can this free car show be the best there is? Big thanks!
I'm not sure if Jason does his own writing, but I've been a fan for a long time. Always grown and mature.
Thank you for making me laugh so hard and educate me in the same episode. There is no better show on UA-cam!! I'll go watching it again!!
As a second owner, of a 4 year old 1986 Hyundai Excel, l really appreciate how well and true this episode was. My wife and I have had one luxury car, ie. Jaguar XES, M3, X3M40i, and one Hyundai Tucson, Santa Fe, Palisade. Looking forward to replacing my X3 with the upcoming GV70 Electric. Hyundai Genesis has really come along way. This channel is easily the best automotive content of all time.
Don't forget that Gensis also has a ton of really great quality of life features. You can have your car back itself out of a tight parking spot so that you aren't potentially opening your door into someone else's car or attempting to get your things inside of it in a uncomfortable way. They have done a ton of Industry first things even if they still need refinement, its good to have a strong competitor in the market again
Wow! How do I even survive without those "great" features nowadays 😂
Great video. On my second G already. I'd like to see them step up their performance game a bit; not quite to the AMG, RS, M level just yet. But in terms of quality, price, style and... desirability, so much potential.
Jason and hagerty, I literally LIVE for these videos. One of the best times to consume automotive media since motortrend was free on UA-cam in the 2010’s. Bravo to everyone involved ❤
Cammisa (and Randy) along with the production team at Hagerty really are putting out the best car content on UA-cam. There are lots of reviewers out there but they’re all missing something. These guys are the only ones that come close to the old days of Top Gear. My only complaint? There’s not enough of it.
Me too. I wish these episodes came at least once a week. But this kind of production quality takes time.
An excellent comparison analysis, value preposition, and historical content for aid. I have watched many reviews on The G90. This is one of the best I have seen. It leaves you well informed, entertained, and opened for compromise.
my dad's first car in the US was an Excel! It was a gen 1 with that rather nice styling. That thing could seriously haul luggage and furniture around like it was nothing. (and with winter tires it was a surprisingly good winter beater too.)
Always admired the Lexus LS400. I used to live by a dealership when they were new. Never expected them to keep their value as well as they did.
Icons? Cammisa and Pobst 👍🏽 Amazing combination of entertainment while being technically and historically informative. Definitely felt like how Top Gear used to be. Amazing production and editing as well. All around kudos. Keep it coming - it is absolutely appreciated! 👍🏽
Love the Icons series can’t wait for the next one
In 1983 (until 1986) Canada had the PONY well before the Excel! We were obviously blessed!
Hey, Pony! I remember that car. Good to hear from you.
HYUNDAI / GENESIS - taking names and winning awards line no one's business!!! Can't wait for my 3.5 TT GV70!!
Hit me up I’ll sell it to you
How do these videos just keep getting better and better?? Really enjoyed this one.
The quality of the cinematic presentation and the charismatic charm of the presenter truly makes this series absolutely timeless, videos like this will be watched and rewatched for years to come.
Well done 👍
Jason and team did a really good job highlighting how crazy quickly Hyundai grew up. 👏 well done!
This is the best automotive media being produced right now, full stop. The quality, the attention to detail, the production value, the informative nature mixed with a truly unique style, and the format is all utterly unmatched.
I Can't believe that this level of production is avaliable for free, amazing HAGERTY
South Korean carmakers, like South Korea itself, are really coming into their own and you can kind of get that South Korean economic miracle vibe about them. Reminds me of the Japanese economic boom and emergence of the Japanese automotive superpowers, South Korean automakers are relentlessly pushing toward the same kind of emergence.
Has Hagerty hired a lot of industry legends too? This is 🤯. You're setting the bar and then breaking it too 👏
I freaking love Jason Camissa’s videos
Epic videos
Its really amazing how genuinely excited the car reviewers are about hyundai lately
I enjoyed everything about this video, and I mean absolutely everything. So I came to the comments expecting praise for the video production, but not to the level that I saw when scrolling through. It's a testament to the output of this channel when most of the comments are about praising the production quality of the videos while few actually talk about the car - and the G90 isn't a bad car at all. Keep up the good work Hagerty team.
This review was amazing, really enjoyed the scenes and how you guys present the product. Keep it up.
I really need Hyundai to release a new two door coupe already.
My '12 Genesis 3.8 RSpec is getting old. Considering a Supra or Z next year, but I've really enjoyed owning my Genesis. It's given me zero issues in a little over a decade of ownership. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another Hyundai/Genesis, but I'm not a sedan or SUV guy. I need a manual coupe.
Get the Hyundai Ioniq 6 N when it comes out later next year. It fits the bill
@@BeyondSmash It looks decent enough, but it's electric, no? Those typically don't come with a manual.
I'll look into it.
@@tizodd6 Yeah it's electric. You can also look into the future RN22e Hyundai vehicle. It may be manual for sure (hopefully)
I've driven and owned Toyotas, Hondas, Nissan and Mazdas. Test drove the Genesis GV70 SUV (base 4cyl) a couple of weeks back and was floored (both figuratively and literally) at how good it was. 300hp is more than enough for my needs. Styling, performance, ride, technology, warranty...all simply amazing. Definitely looking to pick one up, though tough choice with the GV70 Electrified due out next year..
5:12 Please can anyone tell me the songs name? It's so good.
The production team needs a raise.
So, this is the kind of an era where we absolutely astonished by Hyundai and their amazing lineups. But puking and pulling our eyes for BMW new design language and company direction. Oh how times has changed!
This is more than a video, this feels like a Netflix series, the editing and video overall is gorgeous and incredible!
How the hell do you guys come up with this stuff! LOVE IT!!!!
What an absolute masterpiece. The writing is so good. Kudos to the team. Y'all never fail to impress
Wow that scene with the gv60 pulling ahead was insane!! Props for making an electric car bring tears to my eyes
I had to pause at 0:27, go to the comments, and ask myself, "Why am I teary-eyed?" It must be because I've always been one to root for the underdog and I can already tell this -- like all of Cammisa's work -- is going to be excellent. Seeing how far Hyundai has come since the days of the Excel just makes me very happy. It's also the fact that Jason Cammisa sets the bar very high when it comes to the quality of content he brings to the table. He's the S-Class of car reviewers. Now, back to the video... 🙂
Had a friend who bought one of the first Hyundai Excels. Went to take a drive, put the key in the ignition and the steering column fell off into her lap. Like...the WHOLE steering column. Quality car. They've definitely come a LONG way since then.
Anyone knows the name of the music at about 02:00? Thanks,
I loved this video. Not for the Genesis stuff, but for the fact that my first car ever was my Dad’s hand me down 1986 Hyundai Excel. I sympathize with Jason’s time driving this thing on the track, and can confirm the car has NO acceleration whatsoever! :)
I truly wouldn’t have been caught dead in a Hyundai product, and I admit I’ve had bias over the years. But recently my wife got a GV60 and it’s truly been an incredible car. I can’t wait for them to make a sporty coupe of sorts now!
The Genesis not only has ANC but has Dolby Atmos with 6 arrays of overhead drivers. I test drove one a week ago as I’m a very much involved in the high end a/v industry and am a car enthusiast as well and admittedly efficiently imaging overhead audio when the listener is sitting in the nearfield isn’t a simple process. The end result however was quite convincing, the power train was linear and produced more than ample power, the brakes were potent and the suspension was as good if not better than any car in its class. They’ve come quite a ways…
Even the blooper is better than nearly all the video content one consumes in a day, which probably doesn't sound like a massive achievement in today's day and age, until you realize that was the hosts blowing up what they intended to do!! That's all there is to know about why Jason and Randy sharing the screen just works!
It's incredible how fast Hyundai caught up to most other Manufacturers and even surpassed many of them in only the last ten years.
I am studying Business. We research on how large and complex organisations fail. This was my case study. You defined everything so beautifully 😮
each new video takes the series one level further. thanks for all your hard work. this is awesome 👍
daaamn the quality of this production is just awesome love the video quality especially the colorgrading and all those hidden vfx.. i had to subscribe
Ahhh electric, that gimmicky gimmick that everyone's blabbing about. No thanks. :). Seen few peeps burn like witches in their cars like in 16th century here in Korea.
Electrc cars are not replacing petrol ones in our lifetimes. Full stop, they're not and they can't and we are already seeing car manufacturers walk back plans of going all electric asap.
I’m a satisfied LS460 owner (purchased new in 2008), and have been sad to see Lexus lose its way a bit in recent years. They are not ahead in terms of quietness, tech features, etc. and losing their edge in quality and reliability. At the same time, I think of Genesis as the new Lexus in terms of quality, appealing design and features. It’s sad to see V8s go extinct but electrification resets the entire game. Hyundai Group is well positioned for the electric era and electric Genesis vehicles will feature very highly on my future shortlists (GV90 is probably next). Another brand I would take a look at again in the new electric era will be Cadillac.
This absolutely brilliant was exceptionally well thought out and edited. Thanks for the video!
