Great information. I think it’s a beautiful car that I would entertain buying if I wasn’t die hard Lexus fan. I don’t think it’s proven yet like Lexus but a key point in your presentation that most people look over is DEALER EXPERIENCE. I have friends with bmw,Mercedes, rover etc and the problem with them all is dealer experience. There is absolutely no better dealer experience than Lexus. People disregard how important it is to be treated fairly when you spend big money on car. I look forward to maintenance because it’s always an “experience”
I am going to disagree with the dealer experience on the Mercedes and BMW...In my personal ownership it was top notch...and the vehicles themselves have more " character" in my opinion I own a Genesis now and the dealership experience is NOT top notch So much so that I refuse to walk into one of the dealers in town for ANY reason going forward
@@turnne gotcha. Yeah I will say that I didn’t get many complaints with those dealership’s as say Audi and Rover so I appreciate your feedback. Besides my experience with Lexus which has been consistent for over 10 years and based in fact, when it came to other cars it was mostly from others opinions.
Noted. When you state bmw and Benz have more character I think that’s subjective. If you want tons of technology and bells and whistles most cars beat Lexus in this area. I don’t personally, just pure reg luxury for me. Less is more. I will say the genesis does have strong character but I’m clueless on the cockpit. Very beautiful car aesthetically
People still ramble its not a BMW, its not a BMW, its not suppose to be , its a new breed of lux , remember when BMW, Lexus, Mercedes all came out they had issues, and growing pains but like them in time it will be worked out, BMW, engine got a little better but there ELECTICAL ISSUES HAVE GOTTEN WORSE over the years.... check back when BMW, offer 100k warranty(included) for a little piece of mind, when it goes in for repairs u wanna eat beans and weenies to cover the cost???? just to say look at me i got a BMW...
People don’t buy it because it’s ah stolen identity of multiple vehicles. If they had came with their own concept they probably would beat the German manufacturer’s but instead they go hire euro designers hoping for ah miracle. Genesis already discounting the G70 because of sales and outdated concepts🤷🏾♂️.
@@gabevillarreal4779 poor connections between alternates and battery, makes battery run down ,failure of cruise control, I know people wanna gasp thinking Lexus is above issue ,but it’s like any brand
Overall this appears to be a strong product and fills a place in the market that the GS would’ve occupied. The biggest issue is the lack of a dealer network and poor resale value. These make more sense to lease or buy preowned. Lexus continues to dominate on the service experience plus Genesis has a ways to go on catching in terms of annual sakes. 2023 shows 68k for Genesis versus 320k for Lexus.
@@ubiased23 Ok...name a sedan with these features and finishes for less than this vehicle? BMW and Mercedes are MORE money and Lexus doesnt even have a player in this category
Yeah I have the gv80 Prestige and as far as service they suck that is for sure. However I must admit from a guy who's accustomed to Mercedes Audis BMWs you name them. I had them all. That's what I meant to and I purchased this gv80 and the car is 18 months and have 30,000 mi. I must admit the car is put it this way. Mercedes and BMW have a problem and Audi
Not counting the reliability and Depreciation issues...but the dealership experience of Hyundai, Genesis and Kia makes me question why people would go near these companies. Maybe they fool alot of first time buyers with their prices and warrenty somehow???
Cars are amazing with way more character and features then the generic euro stuff. Warranty is great with a proper dealership just need to do research beforehand to see if one has a good dealer somewhat nearby
Hyundai Done Lost They Ever Lasting Rabbit Ass Mine if They Think That Bull😂ish is Better Than LEXUS, it Will NEVER, NEVER, EVER, Be BETTER Than a LEXUS 💪
Lexus has come way down from their glory days of Japanese trained artisans and pride, there are good documentaries on this. And other channels have addressed it. It’s just another mass produced American made vehicle like my new Toyota Camry, paint issues and things I never have issues with on my Japanese made and assembled Mazdas.
Toyota has lost they ever lasting rabbit a$$ mine if they think that bull😂ish is better than BMW, it will never never ever be better than a BMW💪…..Lexus is Toyota and Genesis is Hyundai
@thomassmith6027 I guess that's kind of the point, though, for the same money you go up a class. They really do get crushed on resale value, however. It's probably better to lease this car or buy pre-owned after the steep depreciation curve starts to level off.

Nice car, Thanks Kevin!
Thank you sir!
Nice review. Nice breakdown. For those who like it. Enjoy it. I know they have come a long way. I find it kind of funky looking . But it’s dependable.

Yes my friend a quality dealer experience is imperative and you are right sir, nobody thinks about the after sales experience.

Love your detailed reviews and discussion of trims. The G80 is a compelling option. How does the ride comfort compare to a Lexus ES?
Pretty close but you really need to get the Luxury or UL trim levels of the ES for it to be worth it
I doubt you can find a car that rides as smooth as a Lexus es ultra,,,,,especially for the money
Great review. Will this have 8speed DCT? That would not be great
No
I’d prefer a wood trim option with the v6 model. Not a big fan of the carbon fiber only interior trim.
I am not paying 60k for a 4 cylinder.
Then pay $70K and get the turbo V6
@turnne you missed my point then. The competition offers way more for less money for 60k

The back looks like a dodge intrepid. Totally ruins it for me

Genesis looks better to most unbiased people hands down. Not as reliable and has worst gas mileage than Lexus though.

Clearly you never drove one.
lol Lexus lover boy's getting nervous, just like BMW boy's
Is it better than the Lexus that you get for the same money ? Of course. Is it better than a Lexus that costs $20K more ? Probably not.
