Thats why there should be options.

Yet cigar shows and trips are well attended, cigar shops and specialists still do excellent business, cigar bars are full, online cigar retailers do HUGE business. Cigars International turned the Bethlehem Steel factory into their warehouse, its 200,000 square feet.

Cigarfest:




San Antionio Cigar Bash:




Just because you don't like something doesn't mean that its "completely disgusting to most people". If you don't want to smoke cigars don't, if you don't like leather don't buy it...but don't insult people who do like those things by saying "most people think they are disgusting". You think they're disgusting.

ok. i think you said the g90 material is real leather, but it didn't seem like it to me. either way, i don't really care.
It is in the G90, not in the LC500.

i don't like animals being slaughtered so can have my car slathered in their hide if there's good alternatives. but hey, i'm not some vegan type... i'm wearing a leather belt, and leather shoes right now because i don't find the alternatives great, although as far as shoes i wear sneakers most of the time.
More self righteous value statements.

leather interiors are just another 'old world' hold over and another 'badge' of 'superiority'. it used to be wood in cars as well but most of that has gone away too. it used to be chrome too, and that's fading.
Wood in cars has gone away? LOL okay.

This is the all new W223 S Class. No wood in there for sure.




Sporty cars and mainstream cars dont have wood, and thats not new.


times change....
And the more things change, the more they stay the same.

The way the wood is applied looks like it’s one of the those 1990s aftermarket wood kits.




I think the direction with no wood or as minimal as possible is what really is in style in the modern era

here it is in detail and on the road.

some takeaways...

air suspension
rear wheel steering
same 3.5TT + 8 speed auto, but lwb option will have a 48v 'supercharging' system
B+O sound system
dual 12.3 screens
lots of work on making the car quiet

Genesis goes over pretty much all the features:


This car needs the supercharged V6 when it gets brought here.

Nice interior. I like the design for the most part. That was a good ad. I don’t really like the rear end, does not look that great. The front end is OK. Still can’t decide if I like the mid part or how it rises near the rear seats, for the exterior that is. Really should have aV8

Another English review.


Interestingly, the reviewer here claims that the seating position and suspension is set up more like the 7 Series than the S-Class. No doubt a byproduct of Albert Biermann's influence.

interior materials are TOP NOTCH. gobs of leather, wood, aluminum, etc.

It's just goofy, trying too hard. The old one looked way better, more restrained.

Though yes "restrained" I guess doesn't really cut it these days anymore.

I personally like most of the new offerings from Hyundai (and even KIA) and the G90 looks very futuristic.

It does look busy and a bit overdone. Maybe it might appeal to me more in person.
