I hope they fix the exhaust and bumper issue on the new one, every newer Genesis I see especially in white has big ugly soot marks going up the bumper from the exhaust.

Also look at the stance, low ride height with staggered flush wheels, look as good as the best from BMW.

Why can't Lexus do this?

agree, looks great, hopefully that's how it will look and not get the 4x4 treatment when released.

that thing looks great. More masculine, and modern than the last design. I am liking where these guys are going. Very nice.

I agree that the way the wheels fit on this thing is very similar to BMW. No springs required. Just drop a set of wheels on it and you are done

How is it so short? Current Genesis is 58 inches, or ~5 feet. Unless the guy standing next to it is significantly taller than 6 feet tall, closer to 7 feet, i'm not sure how this picture works.

In this pic, the car has HIDs. I hope they didn't drop the LEDs from the production car. Looks really aggressive with them. I'm guessing the will offer both depending on what packages/trim you order.

I don't like this big grille trend.
It looks like a "me too" grille, because everyone else is doing a big grille.
It has an odd shape and looks out of place.

10 years from now, we'll look back and laugh at all these gaping grilles

Ha, I was thinking about that earlier today. Hard to believe it's been 9 years since the 2005 model year Audi A6's hit the streets in late '04 with the big grill.
