I had a genesis G70 with the HUD and I literally couldn't see it, doesn't work with polarized sunglasses. Even at night I never really paid attention to it. Never used the wireless charging pad either.

Embrace your low tech IS500s y'all! The only gimmick in the car is a V8 and that's all the gimmick I need.

The one and only reason I purchased this car is for the V8, everything else is a bonus. I havent not driven a v8 in 10 years!. MERICA!.

Agreed. The IS probably wouldn't even hit my radar if it wasn't for the engine. I think the HUD would just be another "thing" for me. It's neither a good or bad thing to me. It's just meh.

Haha tell us how you really feel.

I did have one as a rental, I was not impressed at all. I dont know what year or trim, but it was a newer-ish one.

Mine was a 2019 fully loaded TT AWD and it sucked. It was loud on the interstate, warped rotors, the gadgets didn't work all that great, and the dealer service was atrocious. Never again.

Would you take a TLX Type-S over the Genesis G70?

In a heartbeat. I would take almost anything over a Hyundai product at this point.

I had the Rioja Red & USB with my ‘16. I did say ‘Oh my’ when I first saw my 500 🫣😂, but 5 minutes later was in love. As others have said, it’s not as bright in person and it’s a major conversation piece! Who needs mods when there’s a murder scene inside to grab the attention?! 😜

I honestly thought my 2021 IS 350 with the Circuit Red interior was not as bright as it looked in photos. It was a nice step up in intensity compared to the Rioja Red I had on my 2016.

Agreed…the circuit is definitely brighter than the rioja, but not by a ton. (IMO)
