What's on your mind?
Seen a few days ago in Diamond Bar, which is 30 miles east of Los Angeles.
Diamond Bar is home to many South Koreans on US corporate assignments, often for South Korea's large conglomerates. There is one household which works for Hyundai-Kia as a test driver; s/he has driven a number of Hyundai-Kia vehicles before their official US introduction, including the Azera, the Veracruz, two examples of the Genesis Sedan, the Genesis Coupe, the Borrego, and the Soul.
Some of the vehicles that show up here include KDM vehicles; there was a Sonata NF with KDM-only rear parking sensors a few years ago, and now I get to see this Equus VS460. It comes complete with license plate mounting holes for the new European-sized plates that South Korea now gets (look closely). New holes had to be drilled in, I presume, to get that California distributor plate on there.
KDM Hyundai vehicles get alphanumeric trim levels, based on engine displacement. The Genesis is available as the BH330 and the BH380 (there is no BH460, as the V8 is export only). The old Equus topped out at VS450 (the old Mitsubishi Omega V8), and the new Equus, using the 4.6L Tau, carries the VS- coding forward as VS460.
I wasn't driving my Genesis when I took this photo; I was driving an older Honda Accord. This Equus was driving quite hard - it's a steep uphill climb after this right turn, and my Accord simply couldn't keep up with the Equus and its Tau.
Enjoy the pic.

LMAO!
Are these actually the best thought provoking wisecracks that you could come up with? Of course these are the type of remarks I would expect from a immature juvenile trying to pose as an intellectual especially when you don't even understand how to use the word You're correctly in a sentence. It is certainly obvious that you are simply upset because I have lambasted you time and time again while thoroughly picking apart your incorrect statements and asinine arguments to show that you are clearly out of your league when attempting to debate me on issues or subjects matters you clearly know little about. I am sure it's quite obvious to most of the genesisowners members that your snide comments are nothing but personal attacks which have nothing to do with the topics at hand.

In all honesty...I would have paid more than I did!
This reminds me of the fart scene in Austin Powers...Goldmember...when the 4000 pound Fat Bastard "wafts" his own brand.
"I dont remember eating any corn!" (laughing histerically)

Almost as good as the bean eating around the campfire scene in Blazing Saddles.

I saw this posted on Carfax for my car. Mailers have not gone out yet and are scheduled to go out June 8th. This is a bad one - fuel could leak out of the pipe and cause a fire. There is no fix currently. I asked the dealer about this yesterday as I dropped my car of to get the AC condenser replaced under warranty.

They better get moving or there could be thousands of burned up GV80’s littered across the world...
Sounds like a lot of over-reaction here. The following is an excerpt from Genesis Canada's letter to owners. Hopefully this will reassure some of the more hysterical posters:They better get moving or there could be thousands of burned up GV80’s littered across the world...
Precautions:
No precautionary measures are to be taken at this moment; however, if you
experience any issues with your vehicle, please contact your distributor
immediately.
WHAT WILL GENESIS DO?
Your Genesis distributor will retighten the crossover fuel pipe and, if
necessary, the pipe assembly will be replaced based on inspection results.
These repairs will be performed at NO CHARGE to you.
It will be a 2027 model, featuring a "completely reworked chassis" [over and above E-GMP], and will have "extremely limited availability". From KCB:

Hello everyone.
I signed a 3 year, 15k mileage lease on a beautiful 2023 G70 3.3t awd Sport Prestige Package in Havana Red yesterday. Beautiful car inside and out. I've been going back and forth with the dealership for about 7 months now. (The top Genesis dealership in MA.) I wanted to buy, then not buy, then I was interested in the GV70, then I wasn't. Then I wanted to buy, then not buy. WHACKADOODLE!!!
Finally pulled the trigger yesterday after the test drive. I pick it on Saturday as the car is getting ceramic coated as well.
Onto the good stuff,..........................

I went through the touchless car wash today. I had to, it was bothering me something fierce. lol
It's been about a month since it's last wash, plus we had snow, salt and chemicals on the roads. It's not the best wash, but it does what it has to do.

Went through the touchless car wash this morning. It's nice and sunny today, but tomorrow is calling for rainy weather, but I wanted to get all the crud and salt/chemicals off. These touchless washes do an "okay" job. Can't wait to give her a nice hand wash.
It's been a little less than three years, but I still love this car.

That's a heck of a feeling, huh? No more payments... But yeah - I know what you mean. The GV70 is quite nice. And kind of a naturally progression from the G70. But it all depends on (I think) if you prefer the lower seating position to the higher one. And then there's the versatility of the hatch... What are ya gonna do?

I'm going to keep the G70. Low miles, great shape and save some money.
I’ve been looking at upgrading my older G80 to a 2026 model, and while I love almost everything about the refresh, I’m really torn on the new interior layout.
Specifically, the huge 27" OLED screen that runs across the entire dashboard.
I know the reviews are raving about it looking futuristic, but to me, it feels like Genesis is falling into the same trap as everyone else by just slapping a giant screen on the dash. I always loved how the older models had the infotainment screen beautifully recessed into the dashboard. It felt classy, minimalist, and very integrated.
This new one feels like it just sits on top of the dash like an afterthought. It doesn't feel right to me. Plus, for those who already have it, how bad is the glare on sunny days? Do you find yourself constantly wiping fingerprints off the passenger side of the glass?
Curious to hear if anyone else actually prefers the older, more traditional luxury look, or if I'm just being old fashioned.

Welcome aboard! And thank you for signing up. Congratulations on your brand new Genesis GV70! What did the GV70 replace for you? I'm glad you found us.Good afternoon! Just purchased a 2026 Genesis GV70. My first Genesis, hopefully it will be a good experience!

We replaced a 2019 Lexus UX 200! We bought it new, and was a terrific no problem car!. Hoping we get a similar experience with the Genesis! 
The UX is a nice car - but the GV70 - that's a big upgrade. Congratulations! Lexus does have a great reputation for reliability - though I've found they're always quite late to the game when it comes to technology. Probably one of the reasons their vehicles has so few issues. They want until every other brand has worked out the bugs...We replaced a 2019 Lexus UX 200! We bought it new, and was a terrific no problem car!. Hoping we get a similar experience with the Genesis!
As the subject says - getting attached messages after manually updating (May maps/update) the car. I let the Maps/MM OTA expire, b/c I don't mind doing this manually and I see little value in paying for it - but NOW, with this latest update, it seems to indicate that it uses online only and falls back to off-line maps only for connectivity issues... and even though (I checked) the Map OTA subscription doesn't say anything about this feature, I'm wondering - anyone else see these msgs? Or, am I the only one who let the Maps OTA subscription lapse? I _did_ dbl-check with the USB, says it's the same version as to what I have.

Yeah... I'm sure they really want to get this right... And competition is pretty insane right now. Heck, even the Kia Telluride and Hyundai Palisade are impressive...September 9th reveal.....allegedly.

Genesis has a new 2027 model designed to compete with the Tesla Cybertruck. They refined the overall design but maintain the proper overall shape/image.
