every time i see a g80/genesis on the road i do double take. seriously sharp car. a few have come by me while i'm standing in a parking lot and i can barely hear them at all. so i'm looking forward to seeing my first g90 sighting.

I'm keeping an open mind, though, on the G90....Steve says it drives even better than the G80. We'll see.

It's one of the most soulless and derivative car designs on the market, fake Audi grill, bulbous headlights, generic BMW side bodywork. Double taking only because you mistook it for an Audi or BMW. The only cool part about it IMO is the rear taillight illumination design.
Maybe their compact sedan will be the first with some proper styling.

These cars lack character. Even cheap brands like Ford and Mazda stand out. Here you got Hyundai and Genesis charging outrageous prices on vehicles that have no originality whatsoever. They might be nice vehicles but I cannot respect them copying a little bit from everybody else. They have yet to find their unique design language. Right now all I am seeing is Jaguar, Mercedes, Audi, Lexus, and BMW blended into one vehicle....

I would agree that they lack character overall. I would also say that for many, many years Lexus vehicles also lacked character. Lexus vehicles that I purchased and enjoyed were devoid of character.
It's really only since 2012 that Lexus has been making cars with "character" and they get absolutely derided for it.
As for "outrageous prices for Genesis cars". Lol, what?!? How is $69,000 an outrageous price for a LWB full sized luxury car? How is $50,000 outrageous for a loaded V8 midsize luxury car? That's $20,000 below their competitors for both vehicles.
It's really funny to me to see Lexus fans knock Genesis for being everything a Lexus has always been. Derivative, and amalgamation of everybody else's designs, soulless, devoid of character, an LS owner in another thread said "it's still a $70,000 Hyundai", it's absurd saying that while driving an $80,000 Toyota LOL
You're describing Genesis, but you're also describing what Lexus has always been.
There's really no reason for someone who has liked Lexus vehicles from 1990-2011 to not like these Genesis cars.
