Willwll313wll Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Best thing Genesis has done thus far! I love it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailhiker Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Odd looking...almost like they are trying too hard and adding too many design elements that don't go together inside and out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Not bad. I like the wide display screen but it seems that it would be too far away from the driver. Maybe it's an optical illusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang84isu Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I like it, but it definitely feels Aviator-influenced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 The exterior looks odd in some places - the D-pillar blind spot I'm sure is huge. The interior does look nice, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's an optical illusion. I’m guessing it has some sort alternate method of controlling it. A lot of automakers are now using knobs/pads to control the infotainment so they can place the screen higher up so it’s easier to see.

tbone Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 I see Infinity QX60. I’m not digging the exterior at all, but the interior is fine. I think comparing it to the Aviator is kind of insulting to the Aviator. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The display was up on top if the dash with knobs below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you see the other thread where a guy couldn't justify the $21,000.00 higher price for the Aviator and bought fully loaded Telluride instead? So comparing the Lincoln to this new Genesis is a compliment...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcartwright99 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I like the lights the best. It doesn't really flow with the rest of the design but I think the double lines look good. Interior looks high quality. I see some model 3 in the dash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcartwright99 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Ok...just read the base engine will be a 4 cylinder turbo. A 5000lb vehicle with that engine does not sound appealing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take a look at one at NAIAS to see if it's true or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
