  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    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.

Who has the Genesis GV70 at the TOP of their list for their next vehicle?

Agree totally. It's not offered at all on the 2.5 which is making it hard to swallow. The X3 you can get it, and probably most higher end SUV's you can get it without having to fork over $55K. They really misread their potential customers here. Heads Up is an item that once you have had it, you do not want to do without it.
I'll probably just suck that up. The only thing I don't care for on the top end is the suede. Everything else I like just fine. Is there a reason to believe the matte paint is worse than the typical paint for longevity and/or maintenance? The gray looks so nice, it's almost like a satin than truly matte.
 
^ having owned cars with the microfiber inserts...it’s awesome.

Matte paint...avoid like the plague...or covid. Google it...NIGHTMARE.

I mean this isn't helpful to me at all. It would be good to understand the true issues with matte paint though. If it's a weather issue or a scratch repair issue, those are different considerations.

Ignore that other dweeb...it has nothing to offer.

Matte-finish paint can collect swirls, scratches and other imperfections over time, like any other paint – but you can't remove these like you can on a gloss finish.

Repainting, if required, is more costly, too, as an expensive additive is required for the clearcoat, to create the matte texture.

If you like matte finishes get one look at all the German Luxo brands selling their high end models in matte finishes . They require a different level of care and arent meant to go through auto washes but all car finishes are affected by those types of washes , theres a guy over on the Stinger Forums that owns "touchless" wash locations and he admits he would never run his car through them due to the harsh chemicals ....................matte finishes are here to stay .

There's an ignore function. Instead of letting your blood pressure go through the roof, you can just put him on ignore.

Anyone hear from their dealer on when they expect to start getting inventory? Heard from one dealer that they anticipate having just one GV70 in June but don’t even know the trim and when they would get more.

most the horror stories on matte paint are from people that either got an aftermarket matte paint or got wrapped years ago. most the factory matte paints now a days are done well and dont require anything too specialized to care for, but there are some differences in care. The people i know with factory matte finishes just wash their vehicles more often to mitigate the issues you can get.

hell, ive got a superintendent with a matte tan work truck and his paint looks no worse than my gloss black work truck.
 
One of my friends has a matte black Mercedes G-Wagon. He got a nice 4" scratch in the rear quarter panel. He asked what he could do to fix it... I told him "sell the car".

...That’s basically everything I’ve read... Or, repaint the entire panel.
 
Nobody wants chrome anymore , look at all the competitors from Europe most have dark trim and/or offer it as well as wheels . Big miss for the GV80 IMHO . the funny thing about the SQ8 I ordered is it comes with machined faces on the black wheels which I will have to wrap gloss black to match the rest of the wheel ......................The GV70 got it mostly right .
Nobody wants chrome?! Nobody wants chrome!? I’ll give you chrome! (Que the dramatic music fanfare)
