Top Notch Vehicle - Tremendous Value - Only a few nitpicks
This is the finest luxury sedan in the world that nobody knows about, at the ghost car company that most Americans still don’t understand is new and separate. This is because Genesis has not done any consistent or prolonged advertising to drive that message home. Everyone in the world knows Lexus is the luxury car division of Toyota. Almost no one knows or understands that Genesis is the luxury car division of Hyundai. We Genesis owners get tired having to explain what a Genesis-anything is to the uninformed, and it would be nice if Genesis would launch a campaign to help us out.
Regarding the G90, I feel that Genesis botched the product launch of this vehicle and all the marketing dollars go now only to SUV's and not the luxury sedans. My insurance company tells me this is the 24th car I've insured for myself and others in my family in 40 years of driving, but the G90 is most assuredly is the best by far. All I can tell you is everything is just........Right. Car and Driver calls it the "zen catacomb" and I would totally agree with this description. It is very quiet and spacious. The car only has a few nitpick items, and none of them would stop me from buying the car again.
First item: The turning radius is enormous. This is expected due to the long wheelbase and All Wheel Drive (AWD), but the average person probably doesn’t understand this and anything Genesis could do to improve it would be appreciated. It shouldn’t be that my Chevy Tahoe can turn a tighter circle than the G90.
Second item: A visual aesthetics thing… the dashboard is very non-symmetrical and sort of slopes down and falls off to the right, and that really takes some getting used to if you're expecting symmetrical balance and flat and level dashboards. I’ve learned to live with it, but maybe play with that design of the curve of the dash a bit on the future models.
Third item: If you’re going to sell this car in America, PLEASE create a permanent good looking spot for a front license plate. Like many imports, the selfish designers leave no place to hang a front license plate, so the dealer will set you up with this really ugly plastic flap tongue thing that hangs from your grille, and it completely wrecks the entire front look of the car.
Fourth item: It's pretty hard to do a quick sound system volume change using the volume control on the steering wheel by using a finger, without triggering it to go full mute - it's a rolling friction/pressure switch design issue.
Fifth item: The car is about an inch and a half too low. I know letting air under the car is a bad thing and affects mileage, but in the real world there are lots of hills, parking garage ramps and driveways with 30 and 40 degree slopes out there and it's hard to navigate these without grinding the chin skirt off. The new Chevy Corvette has a switch you can hit which raises the nose of the vehicle when going up sharp inclines like this at slow speed, and the G90 needs this feature too.
Sixth item: My guess is you Genesis already has this in the plan for the future, but the car needs to be able to generate its own WIFI full Internet hot-spot.
Other than the above, I love the car, and would definitely buy it again. I have had the car now for over 2 years, and it has been absolutely defect free. Couldn't find a thing wrong with it if I tried.
