a v8 option would be nice but an s580 STARTs at $117 and adding a few options to get similar specs to the loaded g90 gets you to 130-140 (vs 100 for g90).
mercedes will keep selling v8's as long as demand is there and they're not regulated out of existence.
i consider 409hp in a silent and smooth g90 'adequate' as rolls royce would say.![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

Think of how far Hyundai Motor Group has come when they can have the Genesis brand have a car with a $100k sticker price and people say "if they continue to charge value pricing..." It's actually pretty remarkable to think about.

Genesis now is only a value relative to the European brands. Compared to Infiniti, Acura, and most of Lexus's lineup, every equivalent Genesis model costs significantly more. Imagine if Acura or Infiniti had the audacity release a $65K compact crossover like the GV70.

That's very true, hadn't thought about it that way. For me, there's no question I'd rather own a Genesis than Acura or Infiniti. Have to give Hyundai credit for how far they've come and what they've established with the Genesis brand.

I’d just like to see the day where the press, journalists and fans stop referencing “value” whenever they talk Genesis. Genesis pricing. Features. And competitors.

You can't sell a Lexus for the same money as a BMW or a Mercedes, certainly can't sell a Genesis for the same money.

What is interesting, though, is that, back in the 1990s, the relatively new Lexus competition gave Mercedes fits. Lexus was selling more-reliable and smoother-driving cars for less money. Mercedes responded by drastic cost-cutting, decontenting, and lower quality in their products. The result was a big drop in reliability for them. No more of the tank-solid build-quality and materials they had had before....when you could hear and feel a Mercedes door shut well into the next county LOL. The only Mercedes product that kept the former solidness was the G-Wagen.....simply because it dated back to 1979.

And my point was they’re already at $60k, so they’re getting close. I didn’t invalidate your point, I mentioned that Infiniti is close, at $60k.
