    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.

Anyone deciding between a few colors?

My favorites are Cardiff Green, Himalyan Gray and Sevile Silver, but would settle for another color depending on what the interior color is.
 
I have an order in for Savile Silver w/Burgundy interior.
Did you reserve on the website, or did you work with a local dealer to place an order for you?

I did both. Got with my dealer ASAP after deciding I really wanted this car. He called me back soon thereafter and said that Genesis had allocated him four GV70s and let him select the packages and colors on one of them. He submitted my preferences to Genesis but to this date do not have ETA for it. We believe this is because mine will be a 2.5T and as we know, no announcement on when they will arrive. But to your question, I did it online also.
 
I've got a reservation for a 2.5T with Saville Silver ext and Havana Brown interior GV70. I really wish they had a more intriguing (lighter) shade of blue available. I think the Adriatic blue hides the styling of the car. Mazda and Jeep currently have some very nice blues.
 
Matte Burgundy is the only color I care about.
Anything else I'd have to wrap.
 
Agreed on the lighter blue note. Adriatic is the only one they have but has the downsides of being a darker color (more subtle, heavily affected by dust, looks like black most of the time). I'm not really a fan of the Mallorca blue they had on G70s either since it looks almost florescent in direct sunlight. Something like Lexus' ultrasonic blue mica, which is a deep blue but still brightish, would be good in my opinion. There's also more of a light blue like the Porsche Miami blue.

Really like the blue. Next to the silver, it's my favorite color.
 
Does the Adriatic blue really come off as more a mid blue in real life in direct sun? The photos I’ve seen show a huge range from very dark blue to a mid brighter blue, like the attached photo from a member here.

Considering blue as well. I've seen another GV80 pic that is a bit brighter (not quite as bright as in this pic though), but mostly it seems darker. Attached seems to be the most accurate representation I can find (light but not spotlighted). I'm worried that the blue will hide the lines and make it look smaller. Considering white (love the contrast) but someone else mentioned it subdues the lines...

 
I like some white cars and they had the Sport/Prestige 3.5 in white ( all black interior) but I didn't think that color did the shape of the car justice. Might have been the crazy blazing sun. I went silver instead. I like the black exterior contrast to the silver personally.

My preferred combo is the Sevile or Himalayan with red and black interior (Advanced package so all red seats). Really like Cardiff Green as well, and thinking about picking up the Advanced with beige interior.
 
hmmm. Regional dealer has a red (I still have yet to drive) and is getting a white next week - both with black interior. Not sure I can wait on an order, although I'm really thinking the Blue (love the red stitching) or the Black/Red (depending on the outside of course) would be outstanding
 
The Adriatic blue is a mid-dark blue. But, it is not navy. In the sun, it looks lighter. I really like the color.
 
Adriatic blue is more of a glossy looking dark blue 90% of the time. When you have the sun hit it right and it's freshly clean with few swirls, the blue on the entire car becomes really vibrant from the metal flake. But usually the car isn't that clean due to dust or the sun isn't perfect. So usually at most, it gleams for some sharp angles or shows if you look for it standing next to it.
 
One of my alternative colors if we decide to go with Prestige trim in Beige quilted interior (has high spouse approval). To my amazement I have not found a decent pic or video of an Adriatic Blue GV70 w sports package, so I made my own to get an idea of how it might look. (Quick and dirty render w trim blacked out).Screenshot_20210621-180409_20210621223001916.webp
 
Seriously struggling between the Himalayan Gray and Cardiff Green, either with a beige interior.

If you want to be different, I will choose Cardiff Green.
 
I’ve always just liked the color green. It used to be possible to get more cars in green. I had a Volvo 70 series sedan and an Acura Integra, both in a pleasing blue-green color. The Cardiff green is very nice. I also like the matte green option.
