Less space. Kids only 3rd row from launch videos.

Yah. 3rd row is definitely small kids only. Prestige only comes in 3 row config apparently. That shit would be permanently folded down if I were to get one.

Isn't comparing a GV80 to Pallisade like comparing a Cayenne to an Atlas?

Livestream was a little lacklustre.

Here's a CarScoops video on the new G80.

Yeah, that was a pre-recorded reveal, and was not excellent. Some interesting features with the car, like the remote view of the cameras, the active ergonomics in the front seat, the rear seat infotainment. All seems good. I wonder how much the price of this thing is going up?

[16hypen3sp]

Where's the Sport model is the real question...

[16hypen3sp]

Canadian pricing revealed for the GV80. A few unhappy Canadians on the forums. I came to a reasonable expectation of $80k for the Prestige model. I was a little off.

The GV80 midsize sport-ute starts out as the 2.5T Select at $64,500; or the 2.5T Advanced at $70,000, both with a turbocharged 2.5L four-cylinder engine making 300 horsepower and 311 lb-ft of torque.

The step up is the GV80 3.5T Advanced at $80,000; and 3.5T Prestige at $85,000, both with a twin-turbocharged 3.5L V6 making 375 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque.

I don't think the price is out for the new G80 yet. Speculation that the Prestige will be ~$80k based on these GV80 numbers. Was hoping it would stay $70k to $75.

They're at least $5k off.

I'd rather spend the extra $10k and get a GLS450.

Some on the forums are unhappy but others point out that Canadians get more bang for the buck. If you take the Prestige model price in USD and convert to CAD, it's $99kCAD. Canadian MSRP is 85k plus we get AWD as standard as well as longer warranty and the home service as well. I haven't actually confirmed that but that's what some are saying.

However, I still agree with @Buster ... 5kCAD on the high side. (more in line with my original estimate.)

Now that the G70 been out for a couple years, how well are they holding their value. if this thing depreciates a good 50% in 2-3 years then that's a pretty good buy.

The depreciation will be big, pretty normal with lux vehicles. EDIT: According to a quick google search, a 2020 G70 36 month lease is around 50% residual value.

Hyundai is not an aspirational brand, and won't be for a long time, if ever. My email said they wanted a $10k deposit. Sure guys. My guess is after the initial surge in demand at release, Hyundai will have to be a lot more aggressive.

According to what I have read, there has been significant initial demand in the U.S....some in Canada. But I wouldn't be surprised if some of the Prestige get pulled. I agree they will have to get more aggressive after initial surge, but I think it will just be a "$xxxx.xx cash back" type of incentive. Probably will need to do better than that. The current incentive to pre-order is a better lease/finance rate or something. Not sure what those rates will look like after pre-order is complete.

Leaked image of the facelifted G70. Going to have to be a hard no from me. There is also a wagon style edition at the bottom of the article.

Also, I pre-ordered the 2021 G80. Exciting times!

Hard no. That's a good example of how a design language doesn't always translate to every model. See: Lexus

Looks great on the G80 though.

Yah, the previous (current) edition is rock solid. Interesting that the facelifted version isn't getting the new engines tho.

Well hello previous generation C series mercedes

That front end, what were they thinking

[Buster]

I dont mind it at all.
