Genesis G90 vs Lexus LS – Can Genesis pull a Lexus? – Test Drive | Everyday Driver

Kia Hyundai has been recruiting a lot top talents from designers and engineers since early 2000s. People complaining about they still copy this brand and that needs to know the guy who pinned mercedes, audi, bmw or cadillac has been working for Hyundai and Kia for years now. Its a globalization where top talents are recruited where its needed.

I own the ‘19 G90 5.0 and love it. This is a great video that really is fair to both brands. Can’t wait to buy the 2023 G90 in a few years when prices come down to my range. Genesis has really nailed their designs and they’re still in their infancy stage.

I saw a G90 a few weeks ago. Man that thing stops time. The presence on the road is crazy. It's like "Sh*t! The boss is here!"

Before purchasing a Genesis, check your service wait times. I purchased a 2019 G90. It takes a month to get service and now, I've had 2 dealerships decline the valet service because, "I didn't purchase it from them". That wasn't what was promised. I even called Genesis USA. The person on the phone knew of the problem but offered no help. Now, the G90 is over $100K. This is crazy. If you want to burn $100K why not get married ? If I'm to be lied to and treated this way, I might as well purchase a BMW. At least I'll have the badge snobbery we all know of.

Genesis G90 visually stunning and really stepped their game up. Sheesh wish I had one.

I bought an '11 LS460 last year. Great car. One thing I noticed was the lack of V8 engines in the new ones. I'm sure the V6 is powerful, but I would miss the V8 sound in this type of car. These cars are not worth leasing. If you want it, buy one, but don't buy it new. Way too expensive. Mine has the adjustable suspension, but I rarely take it out of normal. Paul and Todd are correct. These are cruisers. Sport mode goes completely against what the car was made to do - coddle everyone inside.

I prefer the g90 by far. The Lexus is also nice but I love the square classic saloon look of the g90

I am not sure why we compare a F Sport to a G90? Why not the premium LS vs G90?

You can’t compare an executive package car against one without. Especially the f-sport. Which is essentially a base model with stylistic upgrades

As an owner of a first generation Genesis with hopes of one day owning a G90, I think they made a mistake crossing into a Six figure price point! Maybe a few years down the road with continued Positive Reliability Reviews will justify that price tag!

Both cars are just amazing. I don’t need anything better than one of those. Thank you for a great video.

Give me an LS400... or a Toyota Century for the proper Yakuza look.

Purchased both Lexus and Acura in the past. Also rode both Mercedes L500 series and BMW 7 series. These are all perfect and very comfortable cars. However, it is time for Genesis...

Reliability to resale value, to materials used, to craftmanship, the Lexus LS outclasses it. I own a LS500, and an E63. I sat in Audi S7's to Mercedes S class and have to say I picked the LS500 for a good reason.

My family had a LS in the '90s and it was super nice and reliable; not a thing went wrong from the time it left the dealer to the time we sold it many years later.

Genesis does the center screen correctly - small, integrated with climate controls seperate. They should have done the same with the audio controls though.

I own a Genesis GV80. I love this car. I want G90 for my next car.

I dunno why I've always had a soft spot for the big luxury sedans, nearly everything else I go for is either tiny and sporty or compact-mid with a hatch; they just seem like the car I'd want to waft across the country in, and I would like to waft across the country someday. Also feels like they're reminiscent of a time where you worked hard and became successful to get rich enough to own one of these to drive yourself to work in, and nowadays the rich are so rich there's no use for a nice sedan when you can have 3 yachts, a private jet, and several Bugattis. This segment represents a simpler time of "attainable aspiration" that's disappeared over the last few decades. I applaud the Genesis for tackling it with style and verve, even if it's an anachronism. The Lexus is an excellent car but it's got too many stylistic ties to ES350s and even Camrys to justify what has become a more emotional purchase in this day and age. And that spec they have it in...neutral earth gray over gym bag red...that's just so cringe. Please don't buy an LS in that color scheme 😅

Enjoyed your video thanks

I drove the G80 and it felt to me a bit too much like an "executive car" (too slow / smooth for my taste). So the G90 was definitely out. The dealer then recommended that I drive the G70 Prestige. The moment the car left the dealership, I knew I had found my car. I enjoyed the test drive, but I had made my decision the second we pulled out of the lot. I've had my car for 6 months and absolutely love it. I've been alternating between BMW and Infiniti for the past 6 cars and this was a refreshing change. Kudos to Hyundai.
