It looks like the dealer situation is improving and taking shape, around me. There are 10 Genesis dealers listed for the Chicago metro area and they are in areas that have other luxury brand dealers. Still not much in the way of inventory but with dealers in place that should be improving before too long.

I'm coming around on the refresh, still don't care for the way the grill comes down in a point, but they seem to have addressed some of the criticisms of the pre refresh car. Touch points are better, interior has open pore wood options and better stitiching, looks overall like a more "special" place to be.
They're controlled by the driver side controls after pushing a button to control the passenger seat in the LS500. Same Way they're controlled on the S Class. Actually a better setup.
Agreed. The consumer they're going after is a consumer like me. Somebody who is attracted to the features, quality, and stance of the S Class but who is unwilling to pay what it takes to cross that barrier.
S Class owners aren't going to go down to this, but might people get one on their way to an S Class? Perhaps.
Everybody wants a piece of the S-class market. But frankly no one who owns a S-class or who is seriously considering purchasing one is really going to be bothered with looking at a G90. This car is targeted towards the second place large luxury segment cars like A8 and 7 series also the LS500. People who buy S-classes are going for the nameplate and prestige of saying they own a Mercedes-Benz S-class. The S-class is the segment leader in sales and will continue to lead especially with a redesign right around the corner in about 15 more months. Also the average S-class buyer is estimated to pull in well over $350,000 a year, they are very particular about brand prestige, not really looking for a bargain.
The Genesis G90 is a very nice car in my opinion, but very nice doesn’t cut it when your competing for a piece of the S-classes sales. Your car has to be the best and your brand needs lineage two things the Genesis brand doesn’t have.

Worth it to me, and I'm sure the people who have S Classes, their cost is worth it to them.

Not to break away from the subject too much, but I don’t think having any of the Kardashian’s girls do a commercial or making them the face of the brand would help Genesis meets it’s sales quota. Although the girls are internationally known brand influencers and they happen to drive G63 AMG’s amongst other exotic branded luxury cars. Their primary audience is teenage girls and young ladies in the millennial bracket is their more mature audience. I don’t think any of these aforementioned demographics are in the the market for large luxo barges that their grandfathers drive. I think the Kardashian girls would better suited sticking to selling their makeup, hair extensions and big lip kits.

This new G90 looks good. They had one at tonight’s Auto Show. I love the wheels where you cannot see the brakes. Front end looks good and goofy at the same time, makes it kinda interesting. Inside, it was interesting to see the new model go to a touch screen (Take that Lexus). And the leather seems to be upgraded as well. Rear end looks ok. Thumbs up 👍

Did you get a chance to sit inside a G70? You mentioned recently that you saw one, close-up, at a mall, but I don't remember if you had a chance to get inside.
