Can I get one with bulletproof glass?
I see some 2023 Genesis G80 Electrified AWD models are being offered for less than $30K (and fewer than 30K miles).
Buy, Drive, Burn, or Wait?
(How will the audio system compare to a Honda CR-V? How will the driver seat comfort compare to a Subaru Crosstrek? How will 0-60 times compare to a Mazda CX-5? These are questions I have. No, not really.)
H/K says this rivals the M-B S class. HK, you funny.
