I completely switched over the camera system I use including all new lenses so this video is my experiment. These were the intentional and unintentional consequences of finding out what works

@@savagegeese I couldn't tell if it was an aesthetic choice. Like the soft blur you see with what I guess youd call "glam". Could definitely be used to great effect if done strategically.

@@savagegeese looks alot sharper except the soft focus on the interior and some of the close ups

@@kipp4805 That blur is all lens and no effect. Some of it has some practical use but not much. Ill use it sparringly.

@@savagegeese If you don't mine me asking, what kind of camera are you using for these videos? Your videos are my benchmark for quality and I am looking to get into hobby cinematography.

Buy drip crypto. You’ll get both lol

Use the sonata money to buy a copy of Forza Horizon 5

@@Tomoyo0827 bruh 💀

subtle flex lmao

Your chauffeur will be pleased with this upgrade.

This would be an E-class competitor. Still less glossy crap though, which is good.

100%. Genesis nails their interiors across the entire lineup. The same can't be said about the German Brands anymore

Hyundai is the fast fashion of the automotive world. They update way more often than the legacy brands.

Have you seen the new Genesis G90 long wheel base?

The carbon fiber stuff is imitation, I assume. I find that bad style if it is, especially in that price segment.

Minecraft crossover? Lol

Yeah, he is dropping some monstrous eastereggs there. 😆

Kia/Genesis/Hyundai are 1,2 and 4 in initial quality, forget the exact order. You really can't ask for more.

True, for now these are luxury cars. Genesis will develop their sport line down the road. They are starting off slow woth the Elentra N, kona N, and the sonata n line e. Once they have perfected it they will move onto the genesis models

@@tylerhansen99870 a year later what you said came true :)

Hyundai made it pretty clear to the world with their "N" brand

Almost everybody knows this

@@rockino2562no not true

Yep. Dude is stone cold when he’s serious

I had to rewatch that part after reading your comment. God damn are you correct.

Those improvements would be contingent on the target consumer they want to reach. To be fair a lot of the suggestions made here seems to be suggesting pushing the car into sport mode when that’s not the purpose of this particular vehicle. I come to that conclusion based on ket words that he says (pushing to the limit, get into sport + mode, etc). The average lux care buyer doesn’t care about that for the most part. They getting from home, to the office, to see the grand kids. So I think these suggestions should be put into perspective

@@silverindigo8302 He says that because it's a "sport" trim. The points you made is the reason why he said to get a regular G80, otherwise get a 5 series for the sportienes.

Not really, they ain't aiming to compete with the M series or amg. Price difference are in the 10ks

@@MrAgentTickle is a mid sport trim not a complete M and AMG trim like the bmw and Mercedes

@@Mxtra195 This is true. Not the "4k or 5k" that was purposely referenced in this video..

For sure, the last Gen looks was better. Wouldn’t mind if they brought back the R Spec V8

Sadly, the 2022 packaging options objectively got WORSE, while this should be their best and most appealing product (g90 is niche).

@@youngbrevy last gen still looked like a Hyundai/anonymous . This new design language is awesome

I just don’t get these large grills…

@@DeepDuh Too much grille I agree.

The focus and tilt shift in this video was giving me headaches. At times, i thought my TV was having issues

Go see the pinned comment 😉

He did address this. He said he was testing new camera lenses on this review and that some of it was intentional and some wasn’t

It sounds entirely scipted, monotone, and almost irritated they have to review cars.

💯 agree. I believe it’s bc they go much deeper than anyone else I’ve seen.

Throttle House is very solid. This channel is exceptional, though. This channel is a lot better than Straight Pipes. That’s for sure.

Well there's always RCR

check out throttle house too

@@thomasheap1575 throttle house is solid, but they aren’t brutally honest even when the cars deserve it.

Fecal incontinence

That’s true. Never thought about that.

Our regions genesis and hyundai dealers are famously bad. That said down south specifically texas and fl, hq claims the experiences are much better.

@@jackholmes8105 I'm in Austin area, one is God awful, another is good in terms of people, but the dealership is just a Hyundai barn... After being at BMW and Lexus dealers it is a hard pill to swallow. I struggle to convince my wife that GV70 is the bettest SUV at/under 50k just due to dealership impression alone.

@@rosgoncharuk2403 Genesis will never be better than Lexus or Germans

@@ekgcanadianenthusiast9961 I used to get annoyed by you, but then I checked out your channel and pictures and I feel so much better! You made my day, no - week! Thank you so much!

Glorified Sonata Sorry I forgot you have cheater mind-set

We came to Genesis from Lexus and my father was so impressed he bought out his lease; two consecutive Genesis vehicles. First one went 229,000 miles before it was sold.

Dang, I thought I was packing on the miles at 119k in my '13 Audi. My wife's car is 4 years older and I passed her a while ago.

@@Artecus Lexus is a very reliable car but boring as hell. They have no life, no feel, no excitement from my experience.

@@datsuntoyy yes, to an extent I agree with you.

You mean the showing the black interior with black interior details in a dimly lit dark room? That wonderful editing? If SG is still wondering why his channel hasn't grown in ~ 3 years, he can start there.

@@mojojojo_BB It has grown remarkably -- artistically and commercially. And, speaking personally for myself, up yours.

No, they're not following the Lexus playbook, in multiple ways. Lexus started with a dedicated free-standing, all-new dealer network where anyone who wanted in had to agree to unprecedented standards of customer service. The cars themselves were built with astounding quality, and when the first LS's got a defective third brake light, they recalled every single car and gave a loaner -- unheard of at the time. And right up front, they created the best parts network in auto history, unlike Genesis that sometimes leaves you waiting a month for a part. No similarity.

@@tonysterbenc ok

I wouldn't say they are doing well , you rarely ever see them on the road

@@mattmasi303 I see them all the time down here in Florida, a LOT of the first generation sedans and now that the SUV is out those are popping up left and right.

Don't buy new, the values drop like a rock. Slightly used, you'll save 10's of thousands. My 2015 Hyundai Genesis 5.0L Ultimate AWD was $50k CDN with 10,000kms on it... and more recently, I traded it in for a G90 5.0L Ultimate and that cost me $60k CDN with only 5000kms on it. The G90 retails in Canada for $90k, saved a good $30k on it.

I have driven many A6 and my 2020 AWD Stinger 3.3TT GT and my new Mazda CX-30 Premium Plus Turbo are both better then an A6--problem is with AWD the germans are in the 70k range plus--a basic A6 with a 4 cylinder is 65k new and my mazda beats it in every category including the interior.I had my stinger a year and a half--went to the track and had zero problems--I sold it simply because the price skyrocketed and I was able to pick up a mzda CX-30--BTW I actually went to look at a GV70 3.5 TT AWD and the Mazda was a demo trade in and after driving the Mazda--I bought it and pocketed almost 10k--and I own it.Hyundai genesis--KIA after 2018 have almost closed the gap on the germans and mazda definetly has--a fully loaded Q3 is 17k more--slower--1DB louder at cruise and the interior and stereo (of the CX-30)are rated with the Q3's top tech package.Also oil changes on my stinger were 70 dollars for synthetic--Audis are like close to 250 dollars and I am sure the bimmer is the same--not worth it.

According to independent reliability surveys, no it's not. I know this was 2 years ago, but it's just as false now.

Keep believing the BS you read. I have a Genesis G90, and a GV80 reliability is the same as lexus or better.

@@MrT-nh6di Thanks for your permission. Because of it, I WILL keep believing a sample of 200,000 owners over your sample with a size of 1.

Keep in mind that the extended powertrain warranty get's cut to 5y/60k when the first owner sells the car.

@@rosgoncharuk2403 oh crap, I did not know that. The 10 year powertrain warranty was the biggest selling point

No they gonna switch to electric before sports car segment

They are working on it... Expect new dealers pretty soon

I know they're working on something that'll be heavily inspired by the Essentia. I just don't know where it'll be positioned (70 or 80). There was a silhouetted reveal they did some time back where they showed multiple models with the DRL signatures, one of which was a G70 wagon. I know there's also a GV90 coming.

@@chiemekaa And also a rumored GV80 Coupe

Exactly what I'm thinking. I have a bmw 6 series and looking to replace with this car

That’s because their residuals are shit. Leases pat for your lease term’s estimated depreciation of the car, so first 2-3 years. If the car depreciates a lot, the lease will be high. If it doesn’t, it will be lower.

Eh, local markets usually support local manufacturers. Come talking about it when Germany has more Genesis vehicles than the top 3!

I’ve had a couple of mechanics look at my Stinger, and everyone of them were impressed by the build of the car.

In Canada, a fully loaded g80 goes for 72k probably a bit more for the sport, while an equivalent e class or 5 series goes for 100k or more

Good point. The gap would be even wider if you went with the non-sport version. I'm guessing well over a $10k difference

That's true...but Mark is a notorious Hyundai hater (think it has to do with a dealership experience he had). So hating on Hyundai / Kia / Genesis has been a common behavior..

The sad thing is there's no mid-size sedan that really likes being pushed anymore.. I think most buyers of new cars like these just want to feel nothing. Even the new 5 series I had as a loaner was very disappointing. Very capable but not playful or goading you on like my e60

Hyundai/Kia rushes their stuff to market and constantly changes stuff!

Yea I’m thinking of switching to some for of Hybrid for my next car. Ontario is at $1.52 per litre for regular.

That’s what the globalist overlords want you to do.

@@austinfrazier7325 I'm currently spending $200/week on fuel. BEV is a no brainer, "bring on the globalist overlords" 😂

It's the details that count
