As you know, the current crop of Genesis cars are all running Hyundai designs still because...well they were planning on staying Hyundais. I know they just introduced that meh looking GV80 Concept, but this is what I was looking for. The sketch which shows the new five-point grill and the dual-four sets of lights. It’s as if Acura is moving away from their shield and jewel-eye design just as Genesis jumps in and goes even crazier with it. Bold move, Cotton! Good luck, there’s a ton of potential but you can’t be a design brand without successful designs.

Acura meets Chrysler crossfire to my eyes.

The headlights could be totally cool, but I have to say I can’t stand that grille. Although I can understand why they’re moving away from the shield design now that Hyundai is using it.

That’s a pretty goofy render.

We’ll be lucky if 5% of the design makes it into production.
