LOL. When has an aftermarket kit even been relevant to Lexus. 
And there are definitely tuner kits for the LS500. An LS500 is faster than a LS460 stock.I respect that you like your past LS models, but I just can't stand the Lexus pre-2015ish, Lexus was value brand until more recently. This new G90 will be closer to a LS500 than it will be to the past LS460, the pics show already show it. hopefully it clears 400hp. Who knows, maybe it will get to 500hp.

That's why once I'm done with my 460 next move is a 4.0 Mercedes or a W12 Bentley since there are established paths to 1000hp with both.
Please show me a path to get an LS500 to the level of a 3.0 V6 A8 APR S1 even. It just doesn't exist. As it stands a 460 is a faster platform

The LS500 feels peppier down low in the range, but the powertrain is much less refined than the old V8. The LS400, 430 and 460 all felt on part with the german flagships, and the LS500 just doesn't. Its more at home being compared to something like an Audi A7.

Have you had a chance to drive a Panamera? I got a a chance, years ago, to do a review on one. Even back then (at 103K list), that was a LOT of sedan. It doesn't carry the Porsche nameplate for nothing...it's thoroughly a Porsche under the skin.
Even though I am a careful driver, and wasn't going excessively fast in it, I almost had a wreck with it when some jerk in a Honda Civic swerved right in front of my lane, trying to make a last-minute left turn from the right lane. The superb brakes/suspension/steering on that car, light traffic, and my quick reflexes, helped save an accident.

LexsCTJill and Striker223, you've been around here long enough to know how to do post quoting... please take a look at them after you post and clean up if needed... I've fixed them now.
Make sure what you're quoting is attributed to the actual person who posted it.
you each somehow had nested quoting tags and missing closing quote tags.

Pics don't tell you how the car will feel and drive. I would be very surprised if the G90 didnt ride great and was very quiet, all the other Genesis models are best in class in this regard really.

About this new g90, not liking the 'dotted' headlights / running lights... prefer solid light bars. The dotted ones seem dated unless you're going to do pixel like lights like acura or new ioniq 5.

EV ftw!!!
It looks horrible. I can't stand it honestly. Just like the overwrought wheels

They always need new stuff to draw people in lol!
I actually like these wheels for some reason, again normally I'm a factory 5 spoke rim type of guy but I am loving these.

You and I often don't agree, but, while I generally like the overall styling, I'm definitely with you on those wheels, which remind one of a bowlful of raw/stiff spaghetti-strands before they are cooked LOL.

Pixel and active lights are likely going to be the next fad. Euro spec cars from Audi have what are essentially movie projectors, dot matrix headlights will allow very cool visual effects when you walk up on the car/lock unlock etc.

I wonder what powertrain choices it'll offer. The G70 and G80 already have around 360hp V6 engines, and as a full-size executive sedan this should offer something a bit more potent. The V6 is barely cutting it for the LS 500 so no clue how the G90 will do with it, especially since Genesis also discontinued their V8s.
