Genesis Gets Its Own EV Platform--What's Next?
The Korean Car Blog has a succinct summary of everything that separates the new eMP architecture (underpinning the new GV90 flagship electric SUV) from the more mundane E-GMP (that's underneath a variety of Hyundai and Kia EVs, as well as the Genesis GV60).

Genesis’ “Great Expectations” Moment
A little over two years after the Neolun concept debuted in New York (and perhaps a bit later than we expected to see it) the production model, dubbed GV90, was officially unveiled by Genesis last week. Much of what we saw was both surprising and not surprising. The concept's coach doors, heated wooden floors, swiveling front seats, pop-up center touchscreen, cashmere trim, and indigo upholstery were appropriate for a visionary vehicle, and few expected most, if not all, of t

Check out the video: https://youtu.be/T6DovaPFU20 Mercedes’ “Baby G” Mercedes has shifted its strategy several times in recent years, initially prioritizing profit over volume and focusing on high-end sub‑brands like Maybach, AMG, and G, before partially reversing course with plans to reintroduce entry-level models and target 2.0 million annual sales.

Genesis Heads Way Offroad
If you thought the offroad-oriented Genesis X Gran Equator concept from last year's New York Auto Show was perhaps a bit of a stretch for the brand, then this will come as an even bigger shock. Not entirely dissimilar to the Project Origine all-terrain hypercar that was recently announced, the X Skorpio is a more extreme counterpart to the Porsche 911 Dakar and Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato. With a tubular frame, an instrument cluster integrated into the steering wheel, las

Quick Take: 2025 Los Angeles Auto Show
There has been plenty written lately about the future of auto shows, and what they mean—or don’t mean—to automakers and consumers in today’s frantic, online, instant-gratification-fueled world. I’m pleased to report that, while several automakers skipped this year’s Los Angeles Auto Show, it was an altogether entertaining and educational experience.
