So far, the only confirmed images of the updated G80 interior (design rendering) were put out by Hyundai in a company promo video yesterday. You know what I think of it (an amazing step forward with their mid-size luxury offering and the best interior design of them in my opinion), but what about you?
Update- Here is the link for the company video:
This is also, more than likely, the finalized G80 exterior design.

That looks great. It isn’t by any means revolutionary, but if they get the materials right they could certainly compete with Audi/BMW/wherever they are aiming for. They could even pull some of those Chevy de-badging ads.

Not bad but it reminds me a tad too much about the 5-Series interior.

Looks pretty well executed, I can see some design cues from Lexus and BMW in there. It’s hard to say beyond that; the quality of the materials and the actual ergonomics will play a big role.

I don’t see that at all. Keep in mind it’s basically a Hyundai Genesis interior but updated with better design and materials.

They are promising better design and materials from Genesis than what Hyundai had. Keep in mind they have ex-top designers from Lamborghini and Bentley working for them.

Looks fantastic, clean, sleek and contemporary. And no horrible navigation screen that looks like a poorly executed afterthought.

It’s the right side of the dashboard trim that reminds me of the 5-Series. I’m quite fond of the G80's interior.

I’m not badge-conscious. I like the Genesis designs much better than the German Big-3, both inside and out.

I would disagree that it’s better than the W213, but that’s because it’s simply designed with a massively higher budget.

I am simply whelmed by this design.

I’d still take a W213, at least it is only derivative of a W205 outside, W222 inside (and the seats are class-leading).
Are you banned on FP now too? Happened to me when I called out the Tesla shills masquerading as journalists.

It's very nice, I saw these going around in Seoul earlier this year since they already have the Genesis G-models on the road there. Very nice looking cars, and I find them more attractive than the Kia counterpart, the K9/K900.
