Not a big fan of that droopy bulbous center stack dash extrusion a lot of automakers have going on these days, but really it is not too bad in this application. Overall – including the “derivative” exterior – this car is shaping up nicely, but unless it drives extremely well I’d probably look more at a Pontiac G8 in this range. The Genesis is looking to be compared to LS’s and BMW 7’s, I think, and I personally associate LS’s and 7-series with elderly people who need boring status symbols to go get their meds each day. Still, if I absolutely needed something that looked like a LS or 7 series, you better believe I’d give this and the $40k I’d save a good look. There is no “dealership experience” in the world that is worth 40 large, and in the end it is just 4 wheels and some metal and petroleum. Anyone trying to temporarily appease their inferiority complex with a status symbol whip has some messed up priorities.

I hope that light brown trim on that dash looks better in person than in this pic.

seems extremely conservative. and the wood is incredibly pale. not feeling this at allll.
Actually that’s not wood. That surface on that pic was leather. BH in Korea can have a 2 tone leather interior. America will get a padded dash as well. Hope this helps.
