If you go back to that dealer, please take a pic of the new G90 with the previous gen wheels and post. I'd love to see it.

It's apparently a factory option (not on their web configurator though).

I like it better in this pic than with the 2020 wheels, but I'd like it even more if it had 5 star wheels like my LS has or AMG S class 5 star wheels.

No, just the pre refresh. I’ve sat in the new one, it’s very nice.

Likewise. A comparison of 2020 LS500, S450, and G90 would be cool.

2021 version is almost out in Korea:

GENESIS LAUNCHES 2021 MY G90 AND SPECIAL-EDITION “STARDUST” MODELS


Seems the only new additions are the matrix LED's from the new G80/GV80 (which doesn't even matter in the North American market since they still haven't been approved for public use), and those nice 19' rims that look way better than the current ones on offer. Disappointingly, there's no still no digital gauge cluster on offer, nor the camera-adjusting suspension and air bladder massage seats like on the G80/GV80. Since this is the flagship model of the entire Genesis brand, it should have had all these upgrades.

I don't know if I like or don't like the front end. It could use a bit of tweaking. That being said overall I love the look of the car inside and out. I wish they would make a "sport", or "sport-ish" model (I know that is not the intent of the car), that's the only way I have a chance of getting the wife to consider one. Otherwise she just calls them an "old person" car.

'Stardust' reminds me of Rolls Royce and it's stunning Starlight Headliner
