There is no denying that it looks great, the profile especially in those distance and those close-up shots from the front, quite original and in your face, if this doesn't take Genesis to the next level I don't know what will, it will definitely make you look at it and wonder at least... what is that?

The price of $126,000 that I saw out there that the LWB costs, kills many things about it, it is untimely since with it they should make the market explode, it is not a marvel of engineering either and they must have thought that it would at least be more accessible

Genesis just opened their 5th stand alone dealership. They have a grand total of just 5 stand alone dealers in the entire USA. ALL of their other dealerships are HYUNDAI dealerships like I said before.

SANTA MONICA, Calif., March 30, 2023 – Today, Genesis continued its retail expansion with the opening of Genesis Santa Monica, the brand’s fifth standalone retail facility in the U.S. and first in California.

As announced, I test drove the Genesis G90 yesterday.

Here are a few personal observations, especially in comparison to the Mercedes W223.

Positive:
- It's a very elegant design, you can't see the car on every corner.
- Fine materials are used in the interior.
- The workmanship seems very high quality to me.
- I think it's nice that there are still buttons and that the entire operation isn't done via touch.
- The engine has enough punch.

Negative:
- I find the Mercedes W223 to be more comfortable.
- When accelerating after entering a street, I had the impression that the transmission sometimes took a second to remember when upshifting.
- It's a very big car at almost 5 meters 30. But I can easily bring it into my garage.
- The trunk seems quite small for such a big car.

Would you buy it with your own money?!? The S is a known commodity, this is still a very new entrant into what is a rapidly dying segment.
 
That's just the question I have to answer for myself. Do I get the Genesis, a (quite pretty and well-made) exotic? Or do I go with the safe variant W223?
 
Through June, Genesis has only sold 697 G90’s making it the worst selling executive car in the US behind the A8 (854). Shame being it’s a great car in isolation.

I’m a bit surprised a lot more LS’ have been sold, though more people see the LS as a safe purchase.
 
Hard to hand over 90K to a Hyundai salesman. Then again this segment is slowing dying and Mercedes and BMW own what’s left of it.
