    I’m not the biggest Korean brand fan, but I’ll give Genesis credit on this one! Looks great. They’re the only auto maker that seems to make drastic changes year after year.

    • @TheLaw_11
      @TheLaw_11 25 днів тому +5

      Agreed! The constant/ drastic change to me is a bit concerning. I get that car makers need to refresh and keep cars up to date but it shouldn't be as frequently as hyundai does. It's also evident their design language or features likely don't last or get dated quickly.

    The paint…….New wheels……..Front fascia on the outside are an upgrade. The removing of the tailpipes is a downgrade although I suspect that it’s a preparation for the GV80 electric variation in that way they can use the rear bumpers for both models saving a manufacturing step.
    The interior is definitely sumptuous but not a fan of the infotainment set up in general I do not like those endless screens that go the length of the vehicle. The glare on them in full sunlight is bad.
    Nice vehicle but when it’s all said and done I’d still go with the MDX Type S. Definitely not as luxurious on the inside but that Luxo-sport style is still a winner. It has better performance……..Messaging Seats…….Air Suspension and a 30 speaker B&O sound system all for about $5-6K cheaper.
