Curious, timely post.......................
The Genesis SUV is plastered all over the national news right now.
you have to give them credit, the G80 and GV80 are pretty sharp looking vehicles once you look past the mega grill

I'd love to have a GV80. RWD, twin turbo V6, etc. Probably the only mom-mobile I like.
But they aren't in my budget. Great bang for the buck compared to it's competitors.

I heard yesterday if they are driven at 9/10ths they can roll over. Got that from a friend³ who knows somebody that knows somebody that did that. Otherwise they are a very nice vehicle and apparently pretty crash worthy. 
Yeah as that was posted/locked a bit earlier. I'll simply say he clearly can't drive nearly as good as he can swing a club. It is awesome he's apparently OK and will definitely have to mend a bit.
I can get you a good deal on one. Needs some buffing out.
Yea-probably many on here think a PDR guy can fix that one.
oh no, you didn't...I heard yesterday if they are driven at 9/10ths they can roll over. Got that from a friend³ who knows somebody that knows somebody that did that. Otherwise they are a very nice vehicle and apparently pretty crash worthy.
Depending on performance, the GV70 is a strong contender to replace my turbo CX5 in 2024-2026. It is reported to weigh about 4400#, which represents a 600# increase, but it will be offered with a 300hp and 375hp engine. My CX5 likely will slot between those two for performance, but the extra space and the extra performance of the 375hp model will be appealing to me. Mazda's CX50 will use parts sourced from outside of Japan, which makes it no better to me than any other mutt of a vehicle.
I couldn’t recognize it as a Genesis except for the decal on the side. It really is a bea vehicle.
Look at the Telluride from the rear. The tires are so narrow. You notice it right away.

Those Tellurides were the hottest SUV‘s on the market last year, they cooled off some but they just took the country by storm. You couldn’t even walk into a dealership around where I am and get one on sale or get some sort of rebate. They were sold out...bidding wars, prices raised. I couldn’t believe it.
They are really nice looking though. I’d buy one if the price was right.
I got an email from my local Hyundai/Genesis dealer a few days ago stating they are "discounting" Palisades (basically the Hyundai version of the Telluride.) Used to be the Palisade was going for sticker or "sticker plus". Local KIA dealers also seem to have a decent build-up of Telluride inventory.
The whole timing of the Genesis "incident" is interesting when you consider that yesterday it was announced that Hyundai/KIA/Genesis received Top Safety Pick+ ratings by the IIHS. Possible damage control, or just coincidence?
