VOTE: G80 Sport grill vinyl stripe options

[Bull]

I always like the vinyl grill stripe option on some of the M series bimmers. In the same vein I wonder if a nice look could be found for the G80 Sport, not that it already differentiates itself from the crowd. So here are 4 votable options:

1. Angled stripes
2. Vertical stripes
3. Chevron stripes
4. Do nothing

Curious what others think.

to be honest it doesn't really grab your attention, in a good or bad way.

blue and red are the colors of BMW's M division. looks like a BMW M wanna be. Not good.

Yeah that's been the lingering thought in my head as I thought about this. The blue, red on the white w/black are meant as nod to S.Korean flag.

Voting so far confirming my choice to use Photoshop first rather than spend time/money on something not worth doing. 😋

The vertical are interesting enough, but I definitely thought of the M not the Korean flag when I saw them. Dangerous ground.

You know what. The G80 Sport is not a true sport car. It's just a family sedan with a decent luxury and speed. Anything above 5 seconds on 0-60 cannot call it a sport. It's just like Lexus GS call themselves an F-Sport but the engine is below the market.

I vote #4.

To me, the Genesis line is very much about “wanna be” (all the more expensive, luxury stuff but at a lower price) - but, through my personal experience with 2 of them (and several loaners) over the last 3+ years, I’ve come to believe that there are significant tradeoffs in design and quality that come with the lower price. As is said “there is no free lunch”.

Well then, I guess it's a good thing the G80 Sport can do 5 flat 0-60. There is no such thing as a 4 door sports car, Sport sedan ok, I can go there, no one drives a 4 door car at 10/10ths on public roads anyway, except 20 year olds and fools. All in my opinion of course, except the 0-60, that is a fact, recorded by CarandDriver.
