Traded my Lexus LS for a Genesis G90!
I've owned Lexus cars exclusively for the past 5 years, and had thought that I was a Lexus owner for life. Over time, though, I have grown somewhat disillusioned by the direction Lexus has been heading, with much more edgy, showy, trendy styling and a significant decrease in the whole service/dealership/ownership experience. I am an "old-school" Lexus lover -- the Lexus that is highly refined, elegant, understated, and rock-solid reliable. The new Lexus has been designed to appeal to a younger audience, which is fine, but I wonder how many young people can afford a Lexus LS at $70+K... So when it was time to give up my 2008 Lexus LS600hL, I decided to test drive the new Genesis G90. All I can say was I WAS BLOWN AWAY! Here was the "old Lexus" that I had been seeking! The exterior styling was conservative but very classy (looks like it will age very well), and the interior styling was AMAZING! From the super-soft and thick Nappa leather surfaces on everything I touch to the solid and well-designed switches (and they are everywhere!), I felt coddled by this car! The safety amenities were comprehensive and all standard (radar cruise, heads-up display, blind-spot monitoring, pedestrian detection, surround-view camera, etc.). The dealership experience was definitely sub-par, though, as I had to fight my way through the crowds lining up to lease Elantras for $99 per month, and the overall experience was no where near that of my Lexus dealer. But what a car, and what a price! And dedicated Genesis locations are being designed as we speak, and will significantly enhance the overall experience. On the plus side, my salesman did everything he could to keep me from having to even come to the dealership. He personally delivered my car to me along with the paperwork to sign. For the next 3 years, he will bring me a G90 loaner any time I need service on my car, and will see that everything is done and my car delivered back to me at zero cost! I chose to lease this car, as I was concerned with the high depreciation hit potential, but the lease price was very reasonable for a $71K car, and I will probably just get another new Genesis when this lease is up. If you currently drive a Lexus LS, BMW 7-series, Mercedes S, or Audi A8, you owe it to yourself to take the G90 for a test drive. This car will make a splash once it becomes more widely understood!

A Hugh Surprise!
My first ultra luxury car was a 2006 BMW 750Li which set my standard for at minimum, what I expect from a vehicle in this class. I just picked up a 2017 G90 5.0, and I can't say enough good things about this South Korean effort! The car impresses, rides like a dream, and is probably the quietest thing on 4 wheels. While there are some let downs, they are to few to cause any love lost for this car. One thing I think need clarifying. Every review I have either read or watched, decries the fact that this car doesn't have a touch screen. To be accurate, there is a touch screen function, though limited, in the navigational system's mode. All in all, I opine that there is a strong future in store for the Genesis G90.

Test Driving Queen
The car has all the luxury that you expect from a $70,000 vehicles, but to me it needed more USB ports and wireless wifi. My goal is to purchase this car in January 2018, but I'm waiting to see what the resale value would be to used Genesis G 90.

One drive and you’ll understand
05/17/21 Update Still no issues and the car is an absolute pleasure to drive. 37000 miles with oil changes and new tires. That’s it!! I’ve been driving Mercedes, Audi, BMW for years now. Hopped in the 3.3 T G90 and took it for a drive. Traded in my E class and never looked back. I’ve owned this vehicle for six months now and I am enjoying it just as much as I did back when I first bought it. Highly recommend this luxury vehicle!

G90 - An S Class Competitor Selling For 35% Less
Be prepared to be amazed at what you get for the price. And, there are no sticker inflating extras either. The only two options available are a V-8 and AWD, everything else is standard.
