My biggest question with the G70 is tuning. Im won over in terms of value, but dropping 1 or 2 grand on a c43 or 340 and getting a dinan tune is appealing to me. I dont think anyone seriously tunes hyundais

Getting some nice gains with just plugs. They are starting to tune with water/meth and the gains are impressive.

Burger is who made the JB4 which was very popular for BMWs.

Sweet baby jesus, the Stinger picks up 100 ft-lbs of torque with a tune alone.

Also popular with the VW crowd.

...but for someone that spends a significant amount of time in many luxury/exotic vehicles, Im always happy to get back into my Genesis.

Dayum. Well done Genesis.

hyphen,



Only one I have so far lol. 2017 3.3T

[16hypen3sp]

^ Awesome. Very nice. How is the 3.3T? That's the engine configuration I plan on getting in my next Genesis. (I may spring for a 2020 G80 depending on full reveal.)

Any plans on aftermarket wheels or other mods?

I'd rather have a CTR or a Q400 Red Sport (assuming incentives still on) for that kind of money if you're only getting the 2.0T. The 3.3T is a better value overall despite costing more IMHO. You can also get a new Accord Sport with the 2.0T for $10K less which would be tempting since it wouldn't be $10K worse at least IMO.

The G90 seems like such a steal with the 2017 models clearing at ~$53K. I almost wish I'm in the market for a big fat sedan.

I like the size of the G80 but love the interior design and looks of the G70... if the G80 adopts the G70 seats/designs I think that would seal the deal for me.

[Disoblige]

I was just thinking... This might be good cars for older people. I might buy a Genesis for my dad just so all servicing is so hassle free

The 2020 G80 is supposed to have an updated interior. Also something about holographic displays and eyeball tracking maybe in '21 models. Supposed to make the traditional HUD look like a fucking square dance. However, I do think it's a bit overkill, but I'd still rock that tech.

I'm really excited for a full reveal of the '20 G80. The more I look at the '20 G90, the more I like it as well. These guys are giving me multiple reasons to spend my money. haha

I always though HUD is gimmicky, but ever since we started having and using it in the NX before and the X5 now, it's the best thing ever. It's a must-have for us now. Holographic display sounds freaken epic.

Unfortunately, CTR ($45K) is FWD, and Q50 ($53K) is AWD Automatic, I am looking at the 6MT RWD option though.

Ah fair enough. Didn't think about the transmission.

Have you had a chance to trive a CTR? I paid to drive one around a track while I was in Scotland and I literally could not tell it was FWD. I drove a Ferrari F430 right after it and I genuinely had more fun in the CTR, it really surprised me. The rev matching is really slick too. If you're a RWD purist though that is understandable. If they made the CTR in AWD that would be even more appealing to me personally, but I don't know what sorcery they have in there to make a FWD drive like it does.

The new G80 spy shots look very promising. I was holding out for the new 2020 G90 but the look hasnt grown on me yet... the updated tech has, but the current model look just isnt quite there for me. Wheels (summer and winter) have already been purchased and some tint will be the jist of my mod list. The car really is perfect (to me! lol) the way it is. I was really apprehensive of going to the 3.3 from my 5.0 but those turbos have plenty of pep when you mash on it.. even in eco or smart mode. I just cant get over how quiet it is. Its actually one of the quietest vehicles i have ever driven. Only vehicle that runs quieter imo, is the new Rolls Royce Cullinan that I drove last week. Its that good.

I must have watched this video 50 times before finally letting my G80 go for the G90..

Beyond has been around for 16 years. These are old grumpy men looking at buying them.

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

Does anyone know when the 2020 lineup will be officially revealed/available?
