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

I am one of them

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..

So, so sweet! Yah, wheels and tint is the extent of my mods as well.

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.

When I went on a test drive in my Genesis, I expected the HUD to be gimmicky as well. Within about 30 seconds, I realized it's a great feature to have on a car.

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

The 2020 G90 had it's full reveal in late November in Korea. Spy shots of the G80 are all over the web but still too much camo to get a good final vision in my mind. Unknown about the G70. Rumour has it that Genesis will also reveal a 2020 GV80 (SUV) but not much info out there on that. Possibly a GV70 as well.

The Detroit Auto Show is coming up shortly but I couldn't find anything on Genesis on their site. I imagine that the new models will be available come fall.

Good to know. I'm likely looking to pull the trigger in March, and didn't want to get into one a month before the 2020 G70 get's released.

[16hypen3sp]

^ I haven't read anything that says the G70 is getting a facelift for 2020. I assume the model will remain unchanged from 2019 to 2020. I will have to do more research on that tho.

Would seem odd to refresh it when its brand new right now??

Agreed. Seems most the attention is being given to G90/G80/GV80.

Found the first GV80 spy shots from Korea. In the article below.

When the wife sees this im screwed lol. The lines on it look really good and if the previous Genesis interiors are any indication, this is going to be one nice vehicle.

For guys looking at the G80, note that it is a big car and not fun to drive at all. It is worse than my F10 535 was and that thing was bad. Hopefully they improve the handling a lot with the new model.

Again if you are just looking for a smooth ride or highway vehicle then it is fine, but it is a boat and drives like one. Can't imagine what the G90 would be like to drive. I thought I was getting old when I bought the 5 series, but I am still way too young imo for something like that. A smaller vehicle like the G70 (or equivalent German car) is just so much more fun. Maybe when I am 50 plus I will try a bigger car again. Or if my teenage kids suddenly end up over 6 feet. lol

It's similar to the new Hyundai Palisade. But from what I can see, I'm not really liking the rear end. Tail lights stick out from the body too much.

No way that front grill stays, that's 100% Cadillac

Similar for sure. I believe what your seeing in that article is the finished version tho. The GV80 concept from 2017 had a two part grill that wasn't received that well... like a grill within a grill.

Website linked below is reporting that Genesis may debut the GV80 at the New York auto show, also may show us what a U.S. spec G90 consists of. Really hoping for a GV80 and G80 debut tho. That show is in April.

However, the Seoul Motor Show is in late March, I could see a G80 debut there.

Well, if the Palisade is any indication, I assume it has seating for 8.

The Korean Genesis website has the 2020 G90 available to build and price. The cheapest one is the 3.8 Luxury trim level with a Korean won price of 77,060,000.

Thats $91,149CAD / $68,687USD. Does that sound about where it should be or does doing a currency conversion even matter because MSRP changes from country to country or what?

For comparison, a 2019 G90 starts at $84,000CAD.

[rage2]

Damn that G80 is sexy as fuck. Flows so much nicer than the CLS and even the A/S/RS7's.

[Mitsu3000gt]

Damn that is looking nice.

[16hypen3sp]

I'm sooo fucking stoked for this car!!!
