just came back from Markham dealership
@GenesisFan the car displayed at Markham was a pre production model
here is what was noted:
- dimension wise it feels bigger than it looks, especially the frontal hood mass portion
- seating position is quite low for something considered an SUV
- bottom of door looks roughly finished, as if gaps between metal can hide water and prone for corrosion. for those who has seen the bottom of doors on something like a ford flex, you know what I mean. hopefully production models are better finished
- inside of storage pockets on doors looks cheap (shiny plastic) but somehow feels decent to the touch, again hoping its pre production issues
- also paint on hood had a blemish dead centre, hopefully another pre production model issue
- 3D gauges are impressive despite of some reports saying they don't work. too bad it only comes with top tier 3.5T trim
- seats are comfortable, support wise, shape. more so than any lexus out there
- rear seat very spacious. head room very good for something with a panaramic roof and "sporty" profile cut
- visibility out all sides is excellent especially with the A-pillar glass
overall, as the car is as expected. no big deal-breaking flaw. feels more german than its japanese counterparts
for those interested, the facelifted G70 sedan was there too. it is a 2.0T AWD model
