Chasing the jumbo grille in 2020 is ignorance. The trend is leaving. Bad move.

We will look back on this huge grille fad and shake our heads...

i’ll definitely give the gv80 a look though when i’m nearer to next vehicle time.

assume not serious as this obviously is the genesis and not a cadillac.

The grill on the new G90 is humongous too.

what makes it worse, is the headlights are almost nonexistent. Two thin strips and a gigantic grill.

Always hated the gigantic grill trend. It has lasted way to long.

I like the looks of it and think it will look great with those wheels. Something about the grille and headlight design reminds me of the Rolls Royce SUV being mixed with a Volvo.

That grill is hideous, this trend is just stupid. If the Chinese have such terrible taste in car styling stop making the rest of the world suffer and give the Chinese their big stupid hideous grills while giving the rest of the world something attractive instead of forcing these monstrosities on everyone.

Looks good to me, though I will wait until I see it in real life to make up my mind.

I like the RX rear window wiper (non-L model) being tucked up under the roof spoiler better than what's shown above on the GV80, with it on the bottom of the rear window.
