28: 40. I tried to tell you Alex the new Lexus models would be very disappointing. But you didn’t even give me credit for being right. All you did was laugh. I called it that this would happen and indeed it did. Now where’s your acknowledgement that your favorite Toyota was right
The rest of you failed miserably to prove your favorite Toyota hater wrong. But you can’t fathom your ego being at risk so you preserve it by attacking me
But your remarks are proof that the time to Lexus’ demise is accelerating. They’re gonna be gone very soon

I think Genesis is doing it right so far. You just get so much bang for the buck than all of its rivals. The only issue I have is Genesis needs more dealerships in the US as you cannot have any service done at a Hyundai/Kia dealership unless that dealership happens to have a Genesis dealership attached to it. I have a 2022 GV70 Sport Prestige which I love so much but driving 8hrs round trip to have any service performed is a bit much. I would totally consider buying a GV80 Coupe but maybe if my city gets a dealership nearby.

Please stop using LCD as a blanket term for every screen. This uses OLED for the 27 display, it's an entirely different (self-emissive vs backlit) display technology. The Cadillac Escalade also has OLED displays, though it seems the IQ and ICE refresh are going back to LCD for the massive 55 combined display. I also believe the Q6 E-Tron and new A5 will also use OLED for the 14. 5 infotainment display.

I would say the value proposition is still STRONG, after all how much is that X6 when you add all the items that come STANDARD on the GV80 I always hate when base price to base price is compared, it's very disengenious when the equipment spread between those two base models is VAST.

5. 8s for a 409hp sporty suv is actually a bit disappointing. That’s slower than something like Explorer ST or Aviator. The standard equipment is good, but for someone paying 87k for a sporty SUV with 409hp, it should be 0. 5s faster to be more appealing.

That 20 mpg highway is where Genesis falls behind Germans. Engine(plus trans, being the core of an ICE car, is so inefficient at similar power levels. BMW X5 50i has 22 mpg hwy and often beats it in real world.

This is a nice looking car. I’d like to see similar screen and climate controls in the Electrified GV 70. People who can afford this will determine if it’s worth it, but it does seem awfully expensive to me.

Remember the good old days when tires actually had sidewalls and could survive the railroad tracks, pot holes and speed bumps found on the road I don't understand why manufacturers are regressing to wagon wheels.

This is a beautiful car. I really wanted one but they took to long to come out with it. I will wait a year or two to see what happens with it in terms of reliability. (Gonna let Genesis work the kinks out)

They are pricing knowing they will discount heavily and make more money than pricing just right and needing to discount. Won't ever consider a Genesis because of their pricing strategy.

Alex, I'd like to see you poll your viewers and ask if they have any interest in having fake engine noise in their vehicle. Hope it is a fad that will soon be ending.

Hi Alex, how high are the floors from the seats on this car compared to the Ioniq 5 Will long legged folks find themselves crouching more in this car vs the Ioniq 5

Alex, I hope you paid Sofyan top dollar for his camera work. Getting back to the GV80, I have never and will never understand coupe-sedans or coupe-CUVs.

Kia reliability, Kia depreciation, and Kia service for more than a BMW. I’m not surprised I haven’t seen a Genesis on the road in many months.

Not impressed. Large panoramic roof Feeble sunshade for that sunroof. Blank central section of the dashboard screen For $80k. No thanks.

Maybe it’s not coming across well on camera but I don’t like that carbon fiber trip that everywhere, like at all. Looks cheap imo
