It’s a hard not to love this ride. It’s a car designed for drivers. The curb appeal is such that I can hardly hit a fuel station without people asking about the car. I’m entertained by those who are certain it is a Bentley. If some imagine it is - it might as well be (without the insane initial price tag and the scurrilous maintenance overhead). Looks are cool, but the ride is where it’s at (for me) - the G80 3.5TT drives like a dream.

Benchmark for what? Genesis does a GREAT job of design, really great. Unfortunately, to paraphrase an iconic popular quote from TOP GUN " their design team writes checks that engineering and production can't cash" in their consumer product. As a 3 time Genesis owner I have experienced build quality go from superb in the previous generation G80 to very poor in my current version. Worse, to quote a Genesis (Hyundai) Engineer who recently tested my car, all the 20 some odd snaps crackles and pops I experience in the cabin of my new G80 Prestige are "normal" because of the large amount of plastic parts used to construct the cabin. This is a clear indication that Genesis (Hyundai's) focus has moved to "form over function" and build quality has therefore suffered immensely. The focus on customer satisfaction of Genesis (Hyundai) National Customer Service is sub par especially considering the fact that their mission statement is to exceed expectations. The trouble there is they don't really mean their customers expectations, they mean their own. This is not a customer oriented company by any stretch.

My mom just got the four years older version of this ("Snowflake" - a G80 in Snow White of the 2017 vintage). Here's the odd part - the Genesis is made by a company that has ZERO experience in building luxury vehicles - Hyundai Motor Company of the Republic of Korea. We (as a family) are NOT new to luxury vehicles - it had been preceded by - in order - three Lincoln Marks (III/IV/V), two Eldorados, two BMW 7 series (740iL and 750iL) and an Audi A6. So how the heck is it that the G80 makes them all look like pretenders?

You two just keep getting better and better. The intro, heck your entire video is must see. Thanks.

My S550 is 13 years old and I was contemplating a replacement. After reading all the hypes about the Genesis--G80, G90's, I've decided to stop by the Genesis dealership to have a look. The dealership is co-located with the Hyundai's. There were three Genesis's inside the show room. 1 each of the G70, G80, and G90. There were no one inside the showroom. After checking the G80 and while we were inside the G90, a salesman finally appear. He didn't seems to know much about the vehicle but ask if I would Iike to have a test drive. I told him I want to drive one exactly like the V8 in the showroom. He said there's one in the parking lot and he went to get the key and brought the vehicle to the door. Then he told me it's not the V8, but the turbo V-6. While we sat in the car, he went on to take care of something for another lady in a SUV. We sat there and waited close to ten minutes and finally decided to leave. We took the key and went inside the showroom but there were no one to hand the key to. As we exit, we finally saw the same salesman getting his lunch probably from his wife. The point of all this is, no matter how great Hyundai make the Genesis, if they are to compete with BMW, Mercedes and Lexus, their dealership have a long ways to go. I will never buy a Genesis now because of their customer service. People who will spend $80K to buy a car do not want to be treated like he's buying a Hyundai. If I can't even get someone's attention when I want to buy the car, what kind of service would one expect if I encounter problems with the vehicle! BTW, the dealership is Red McComb Genesis located in San Antonio, Texas. The date was May 6, 2021.

You will pay an additional $20k for that customer service...not to mention the extra money for the cost of service. It's your money.

This is dealer specific. They don't get money if they don't sell cars so they ought to be concentrated on the customer. Probably a bad dealer.

I've owned 3. You wont be at the dealership much. I don't need to spend $30k more for someone to make me feel good when at the dealership. Wife has Lexus & service for sure much better at dealership. She also spends more in 1 year for maintenence than I have ever spent on the lifetime of any Genesis ive owned.

As a owner and of the g80 this car had been nothing short of a belssing❤

Out of all car reviewers you all have the best video production!

The Koreans are stepping up their game. Now, I wait with bated breath for their "promised" GT series. And as always, thanks for the show and reviews!

Guys , first of all love your reviews, i am a Lexus driver but must say that Genesis has the looks !! would love for you guys in near future to do a review of the new Jaguar XF, it just looks amazing and Jaguar needs to be seen again ..... keep up your great work!!

Easily one of the most understatedly beautiful sedans currently on the roads today.

Dash-to-axle ratio gives the G80's a true luxury side profile that's also sporty.

I like the "this is more fun than the M5" Everyday driving comments are important and you're very good to express that!

Yea, the M5 would destroy the G80 on any track but when it comes to daily driving... you are barely using the M5's potential.

I am kool with the summary you guys gave at the ending.

I have a 2019 G70. Terrific car. Only issue is a bit of chrome wear along some edges. Runs flawlessly and has nice performance. Would buy again.

This is one hell of a car and one hell of a review. Love it guys!

I'm really loving everything genesis is coming out with. Even their older luxury cars are slept on like the equus and genesis sedan.

absolutely love the intro!

I sat in this at Good FOS yesterday. For the price and class the interior design , quality and materials are absolutely amazing. Much better than the E Class or 5 Series. Coming from a Mercedes fan.

I love watching you guys. You have pure magic together! Good going and great videos and playing off eachothr rocks!

You two are my absolute favorite car review channel

The fact that the badge is not front and center in the grill is driving me crazy. Great review!

Why else would the M5 consistently be the benchmark all other super sedans try to reach for so many years??? :) I was applauding Thomas' up-front and definitive opinions and his no nonsense attitude about saying them.

Great Top Gear-level work! One thing you did NOT mention was the *appalling* amount of time and money that goes to BMW and Mercedes garages once their cars get past the warranty period. I already know this has to be a great car. Why? I bought an older Azera 5 years ago, and it has only been in the shop for 1 recall. I've put 50,000 happy miles on it. Ask Tyler Hoover of Hoovie's Garage how much time in the shop and money a 2007 Mercedes or BMW would have cost over the last 5 years. The bloom has been of the rose of high end German motoring since the late 90's. My beast has 165K on it, and I smile every time I fire it up, cruise, hit the gas or listen to the Infinity sound system. As good as mine have been, I expect these newer ones are terrific---and reliable...
