What's wrong with Lexus' looks? Don't like originality and origami lines? They are far more better looking than this... thing, that looks like one of those cheap chinese rip-offs. I can't believe people actually find it attractive xD
You are the best car reviewer on TH-cam Steve. Easily the most entertaining. Every one of your vids is so unique and fun. Please keep doing videos, the more you do the more views/subs you’ll get !
Thanks! I really appreciate your positive comments and will keep doing the best I can. I hope you subscribe and tell your friends about us as well..:) Steve
There is no other car that gives you the same “Weightiness of the vehicle”in this price range. You can pick up brand new 2019 year model for less than $45k or 2018 year model with ultra low mileage for around $31k.
Actually with the trunk you don’t have to wave your foot under the car if you have your key fob in your pocket it will automatically open within 3 seconds for you standing behind it. Great video though!
So true! I was doing a few videos back to back and got my "trunk release" motion mixed up. If you look at our 2017 Elantra video I actually explain it correctly..:) Steve
Its heavy as hell. It's quick. It's comfortable. There are a lot of distractions in the car. Like a shit load... Go test drive one. You will probably love it.
I believe he test drove the AWD Sport, which is rated at 5.0, while the RWD Sport is 4.9. www.zeroto60times.com/vehicle-make/genesis-motors-0-60-mph-times/
You’re awesome, Rosenthal. I went Korean for my last lease (2015 KIA K900). Loved the naturally aspirated V8, overall it was a great car. Only got 11-miles mpg around town though, although I did get almost 25 on the highway in Eco mode. This time I went German, just got a 2018 BMW M550i and it’s an amazing machine. Thanks for the high-quality reviews and insight.

Highly thinking of getting an 2019 Siberian ice g80 sport with only 10k miles from a dealer this car really is sharp. Lexus needs to take notes from genesis on the infotainment system as that is the one thing that really sucks with Lexus.
@@Blue-moon12 sadly no , at the time they were low balling me on my trade. But then the pandemic hit and the car was more expensive but on the plus side I sold my car and for $5k over asking on it.
Really liking this car a lot waiting to see how the g70 turns out once its actually released. Did you notice any jean color transfer on those seats? That is the one thing i would be concerned about white seats. My other concern is when i looked at a g80 last year was not impressed wirh the hyundai dealerships and there lack of knowledge regarding genesis. Great video.
I love the way this car looks. Not a big fan of the infotainment system though. Looks like It’s for an old man... Work on that and I might be hooked! 🤔🤔🤔!!!
Yuppers! We normally shoot around the area we get the car from. Since we picked it up from Hyundai of Chantilly...we drove around the Chantilly Virginia area..:) Steve
Danny Thomas ...True. I’ve leased Lexuses years ago. Yes, they’re comfortable and quiet, but I always had interior vibration or rattling noise in all of them. Not sure if it was just the units I got. But then most cars I’ve had always have some interior rattling noise. Some worse than others. The only cars I’ve had that consistently didn’t have interior rattling noise, are bmw’s. Tire and wind noise are bad in my bmw’s though, so it does not isolate you like how the Lexus does.
I wonder why they got rid of the 5.0. This 3.3T isn't as fast, gets even worse gas mileage, and less reliable. It must be about the lighter handling...?
@The Adventure Auto what are you talking about they still have the 5.0 version of this car when I was purchasing my Genesis 3.3 g 80 about 3 weeks ago they still had them about 2 of them was in the show room next to the g90 and 5 or 6 on the lot along with all the other models I didn't hear anything about Genesis was gonna stop making the 5.0 version 8 cylinder,but i must say so far it rides beautiful great car and fucking fast as hell definitely a highway car
The 3.3TT V6 gets worse gas mileage than the 5.0 V8 and is less reliable ? On what actual data do you base this ? My Stinger does 8.9 L/100KM on the highway, and 13 in the city. The best the 5.0 V8 has can do is about 10 L/100KM on the highway and 16 city !
not sure what the price difference is in U.S. is but in Canada the S6 costs 30k more than G80 sport I'll take genesis and put 30k in my pocket. will also cost less to maintain .
your videos are criminally lacking views , you deserve a lot more recognition for the quality you bring
Thanks so much. I REALLY appreciate it!!! I keep hoping one day they'll really take off...but until that day I just do what I can, with my videographer, to focus on the quality and hope the quantity catches up with us..:) Steve
Just bought a 2018 AWD G80 Sport yesterday.
How do you like it?
@@bscott573 I actually don't pick it up until Tuesday. Had to wait for a new windscreen to come in
@@bscott573 I love it!
haha we meet again my friend... im narrowing it down slowly
Got my white 2018 AWD 2 days ago..car is boss
I have a 2018 too. Love it.
God your awesome
Thanks so much!!! You are too..:) Steve
:D
If you were dead set against buying a certain car, this guy could turn your head completely around. He could sell a 1986 Hyundai Excel!!
Nope. You dont open the boot with waving your foot. You either press the button or stand with the key in your pocket and it will open automatically.
The ending footage was hilarious ;)
Somebody actually watched until the very end!!!! You're my HERO..:) Steve
Clean & classy looking car. Will age very well unlike current Toyota/Lexus products.

Another fantastic and funny review... This is actually one of my dream cars. Keep up the great work Steve.
Thanks! I'll do my best..:) Steve
Great review. Very thorough and funny. Enjoyed tremendously...
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed our work..:) Steve
Its heavy as hell. It's quick. It's comfortable. There are a lot of distractions in the car. Like a shit load...
Go test drive one. You will probably love it.
Mr. E -I love it just looking at it....damn nice all-weather vehicle...... this is a good looking car.
looks clean
absolutely beautiful car I cant eait till the price drop so I can get one
your not gonna eat until the price drops?
I just purchased the '18 3.3T Sport AWD with 30k miles for 36k. Original sticker for my particular car was 60k w/ add-on options.
Pretty sure the dude beside you at like 11:40 watched you talk to your hand haha
Not gonna lie. This is a really good looking car.
0 - 60 in 4.7 secs not 5.2
I believe he test drove the AWD Sport, which is rated at 5.0, while the RWD Sport is 4.9. www.zeroto60times.com/vehicle-make/genesis-motors-0-60-mph-times/
I own this car exact exterior and interior combo. My wife daily driver and we love this car.
Congratulations on having a great ride in your family..:) Steve
Rosenthal as the new John McClain in 'Die Hard' 2018🤝
At least it was a Christmas movie..:) Steve
10 years warranty for powertrain? wow, not bad!!
Max Mustermann all Hyundais and Kias come with it
here in Germany Kia only gives you 7 years

Man, this guy is an Athlete
I like it's smooth and luxury on the g80.

I had light seats a couple years back and they always looked filthy and I'm fastidious about cleanliness. Beautiful, but not practical at all!!
Great Review Sir.

Thanks for the video...
Genesis is the world most powerful car.
its a beautiful and fast cow but at 4000 pounds is not sport
best review ever
Thanks..:) Steve
Ok, so do you like the car or not?
Shot in Virginia ?
Yuppers! We normally shoot around the area we get the car from. Since we picked it up from Hyundai of Chantilly...we drove around the Chantilly Virginia area..:) Steve
Rosenthal Steve K cool, great video.. enjoy your teams work.
How much?$$$
Which has more luxurious ride? The G80 or the Lexus ES350?
Danny Thomas...Thx. I think I need to test drive it myself to believe it. I want a plush ride, and everyone almost always would say to get a Lexus.
Danny Thomas ...True. I’ve leased Lexuses years ago. Yes, they’re comfortable and quiet, but I always had interior vibration or rattling noise in all of them. Not sure if it was just the units I got. But then most cars I’ve had always have some interior rattling noise. Some worse than others. The only cars I’ve had that consistently didn’t have interior rattling noise, are bmw’s. Tire and wind noise are bad in my bmw’s though, so it does not isolate you like how the Lexus does.
we both have the same shoes from Aldo hey!
Only 20 mpg?
It all depends on how you drive. Those are estimates only... Maybe more and maybe less..:) Steve
on the thumbnail it looked like a 6-series.
The gps maps looks terrible
it has apple carplay/android auto
Looks like a lexus but it is still nice
I wonder why they got rid of the 5.0. This 3.3T isn't as fast, gets even worse gas mileage, and less reliable. It must be about the lighter handling...?

Only the Sport is 3.3 T. By the way you are way off with your comment.
I can get all that from a Taurus sho, for so much less.
Well...that may be true. But it's still a Ford Taurus..:) Steve
Rosenthal Steve K , yeah and that is still a Kia.😉
Taurus comes in rwd now?
hklf AWD
Marco Arreola But no RWD option right?
I'd take an Audi S6 over this anyday.
not sure what the price difference is in U.S. is but in Canada the S6 costs 30k more than G80 sport I'll take genesis and put 30k in my pocket. will also cost less to maintain .
I'll take that 10 year 100k warranty
Enjoy your overrated Audi
Your a dummy..
yawn. I wish the Audi's would stop making the car look like it was meant for the picture in the dictionary for "car." But they still rank VERY high!!!
