SPYSHOTS: The next generation of the Genesis G80 is here

[Beefer]

Where is it on the GV80?

I think the radar screen is below the grille in the center of the lower grille.

One gorgeous detail is—what I interpret—a speaker grille integrated flush with the beautiful sculptured ‘blueish’ section of the door panel:

Do you see any evidence (in the door panel, or elsewhere) of ambient lighting strips? I don’t see them.

That looks so stunning... also another attention to detail is the hood stopping above the grille; no line seperation:

Those latest images are just an official render. My guess that's why some stuff not showing in those latest images, and some other stuff looks a little bit different from what we saw on the previous images from the beginning.
I'm very excited to see the real car with all its features and all rims types I spent a little time on the photoshop trying to make those images with different interior colors and other rims
Also I noticed that big number there...

Cool! Ambient lighting in the rear door pocket!?!?! This car just gets better and better.

Oh - the blue glow in the photo of the rear door? Nice!

Yah. The bottom picture has a red glow.

And this is why the A7 looks awful compared to this. RWD > FWD every day, baby.

That’s the previous Gen A7. If you are going to do apples to apples then at least get the Generations correct.

You can match find the pictures yourself- but because of the FWD nature of the A7, the massive overhang is still the same as before.

Sure but that has no play on design. The G80 and A7 are both two very distinct and beautifully created machines. Don’t really see a point in saying the A7 is “awful”

 

[Backslack]

I said it was "awful compared to the G80". Against most other FWD sedans, it's absolutely better. But the G80's RWD architecture make its proportions that much better than the A7. Also, I find the new A7 to be uglier than the old one.

The A7 does have the advantage of its roofline translating to an actual, more practical hatchback- I'll give it that.

 

[Beefer]

Why would you put the A7 in the FWD category when it can be had in Quattro?

A7 is not ugly...compared to anything really...it’s stunning...especially in RS form.

Childish comments to say the least.

 

[Backslack]

Because the A7 sits on a FWD platform, and the proportions reflect that. It's also offered with FWD in Europe.

These are all facts.

I know that already.

So what? What difference does it make in regards to aesthetics (other than your own opinion)?

 

[Backslack]

RWD proportions being more attractive is not my own opinion. It's classic good car design principles.

Long on looks

There's nothing special about the front of the A7, which is identical to the A6. The massive front overhang is hideous, as is on most other FWD vehicles. Only Mazda and Volvo have been able to achieve RWD-like proportions with a FWD drivetrain.

Again...it’s your opinion. Posting a link to someone else’s opinion also means nothing.

Quit being an a*****e. Seems like all you do is piss people off on here.

As a newbie...I suggest you reel it in a bit.

Pretty ironic from the guy who can't make a single post without swearing and name-calling.

Sorry bud, my opinions are here to stay. You don't like them? Too bad.
