  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Car & Driver: "We've fallen head over heels for the G90 Wingback concept, which takes the brand's flagship sedan and adds beefier bodywork and a sleek wagon roofline."
  • Genesis revealed the G90 Wingback concept yesterday, a wagon version of its flagship luxury sedan.
  • The roofline has been extended, and there are more aggressively styled bumpers, flared fenders, and plenty of aerodynamic devices.
  • While a production version of the Wingback isn't officially confirmed, the company says it is under consideration.
Genesis dropped a number of hot new cars yesterday, including a couple of surprises. While we were expecting the debut of the GV60 Magma, the first performance model from the Korean luxury automaker's new subbrand, we were also treated to the reveal of the Magma GT concept, a V-8 mid-engined supercar that looked awfully production-ready. Snuck into the presentation was also a high-end wagon, the G90 Wingback concept, and we've fallen head over heels for the opulent longroof design.

There aren't many official details on the G90 Wingback, but we were told that the concept is built on a standard G90 platform and that everything underneath the skin is identical to the production car. That means a twin-turbocharged V-6 engine, which in the base spec produces 375 horsepower and 391 pound-feet of torque, but is also offered with an electric supercharger that boosts output to 409 horsepower and 405 pound-feet. The standard eight-speed automatic gearbox and all-wheel-drive setup should also be present, as well as the cloudlike air suspension. Read more and see pictures here.

You don't widen a car so you can fit 315 wide tires for only 409hp.

I'm thinking they'll turn up the boost quite a bit if this car makes it to showrooms...

We have?

The coupe is very nice - but the wagon thing was played out years ago when Dodge brought it back. There is a reason why they stopped producing it.

They could always just bring back the 5.0, and tune it up a bit more.

"We" = Car & Driver. We know they're never bringing back the V8.
