The hood "overbite" is not a flaw. It is intentional design and look. You may not like it but definitely is not a flaw. At first sight it seemed little weird looking but after a while, I am used to it and think it adds a bit of character. The idea was supposed to resemble a trojan soldier helmet. Anyway, looks are subjective but I kind of like it now after a few months of ownership. Others have pointed it out and when I tell them of the intention of the design, then they thought it was pretty cool.The poor hood alignment is one of the main reasons I will not purchase the GV70 right now. It stands out like a sore thumb. And the front of the hood has an overbite. I like the rest of the vehicle, but will wait till they do something about this flaw or go elsewhere. Genesis wants to hang with the big dogs. They better listen and take note from the consumers.
It is just weird and probably not aerodynamic. The main flaw that I see with brand new GV70s sitting on dealers lots are what the others are talking about. Uneven gap along the entire edge of the hood to the fender... and not the same from side to side.The hood "overbite" is not a flaw. It is intentional design and look.

Then maybe it is a build flaw, which would mean my hood vibration can be fixed.I took the car above 100mph a few times to check vibration issue. I didn't experience any vib.
Some have reported that adjusting the bumpers under the hood help stabilize it.Then maybe it is a build flaw, which would mean my hood vibration can be fixed.
