Pictures of the GV80 SUV in production form might have been leaked by a Genesis Dealership.

Even if its not official and just a rendering, when compared to the new G80, it can be argued that this is very close!

In spy shots of the GV80 it doesn't look nearly as much like a Bentley, thank god. The new G80 was unique, this should be too.

It's no coincidence. SangYup Lee, head of the Genesis Design Center, previously designed the Bentley Bentayga. But Genesis claims they didn't target the Bentayga, offering a proverb of sorts:

"We didn't look at other cars," said Luc Donckerwolke, executive vice president and chief design officer of Hyundai Motor Group. "If you're driving fast and you look at a tree, you'll hit the tree."

That's what they all say.

We all know its a copy but few will care. The fact we can get so much for so little makes us forget the rest.
I just wish they would do something about the steering wheel... it doesn't belong...
