    We all need to write to Genesis and ask them to add the 3D gauge cluster. It's available in the new G70 refresh in every market BUT North America!! Great review as always.

      I'll write them when the little eye tracking box in the cluster is implemented better. I drove the GV70 which has it, that little eye tracking box is so strange, protruding out of the cluster and honesty just doesn't look good. Once they implement that better ie. hide it in the cluster itself, dim the two red lights so they aren't noticable, then I'll have reason to complain about the lack of a 3D cluster in any of their vehicles. Drive a GV70 and see for yourself, it doesn't look good and the trade off isn't there IMO.

    I drove this car at the Genesis dealer - had the dynamic pack. Amazing torque and good balance, but the driving setup felt a lot softer than I'd like with dive on turn-in, the engine note was flat, transmission a bit slow and the steering was dead - I also drove a veloster N at the neighboring lot and refinement aside, what a difference!
    Context - I drive a Mustang GT PP with stick and wanted to check out a performance 4 door for family duty with a similar feel. Stuck with my Stang as my kid can now get in backseat himself but will check out the CT4-V blackwing.

Regardless of what it "looks to you like", the reality is Hyundai recruited the Bentayga's designer to bring some class to their upmarket brand. Unfortunately for Hyundai he just made a cheap looking version of the Bentayga. With that being said the GV80 is an excellent Crossover in its own right but looking like a Bentayga knock off and being compared to a faaaaaarrrr superior vehicle is going to work against it.

    Genesis is making some wonderful progress. Honestly though at the price point they need to really upgrade to get their launch control right. BMW, VW, Audi all have much better systems. That car should be running mid to low 4s to 60. Nearly 10k less you can get a Golf R that will run circles around it, albeit probably not nearly as reliable...(coming from a previous mkvii R owner).

    Ryan, in my opinion you are still spending too much time on the infotainment system(s) - a car is bought for driving. In fact it would not surprise me if the government will in the future mandate that infotainment will need to turn itself off after say 10 MPH - as it is, far too many people are distracted by their mobile/cell phone causing accidents. A fine of $1054 AU here in Queensland Australia if caught talking/texting on one's mobile/cell phone - which is no different than looking for your coffee shop.

    I have to be honest, I don't like the refresh. It doesn't appeal to me aesthetically.
    First, that crest grille is yuck. The split headlamps are inelegant (they should stretch around much further). The pre-refresh G70 looked much better.
    And I miss the fog lamps.
    Second, I like that the pre-refresh G70 could be mistaken for a Bentley or Aston Martin. Borrowing aesthetic sensibilities from other brands is a Good Thing.
    Third, the rear end of the refreshed G70 is butt ugly (pun intended). The pre-fresh G70 looked much better.
    Fourth, the refreshed gauge cluster, which is half physical and half digital, is unappealing. Make it all-physical or all-digital but *don't* do half and half. (The blind spot imaging could've been placed in the center display.)
    Fifth, I liked the boomerang side vents on the pre-refresh G70. They gave the car a unique look. The refreshed G70 loses that uniqueness and could be mistaken for any other Genesis model.
    The 2022 G70 is still an excellent vehicle but it'll never get the same kind of love from me as in the pre-refresh G70.
