AUTO REVIEW: 2022 Genesis G80 Sport — Korean Creative Liberty

AUTONETWORK ON BLACKPRESSUSA — Genesis ensured that its suite of advanced driver assistance technologies took precedence. Bravo since the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) honored all 2022 Genesis models with the TOP SAFETY PICK+ (TSP+) for this year. For example, the G80 includes Forward Collision Avoidance-Assist with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Keep Assist, Blind-Spot Collision Warning, and more. “At Genesis, safety is our top priority, and the customer is at the center of every decision we make,” said Claudia Marquez, chief operating officer of Genesis Motor North America. “Safety is emphasized in the design and engineering of our award-winning vehicles.”

Welcome to an immersive Genesis experience where the vehicle defines the man or woman behind the wheel. In this case, I’m referring to the new 2022 Genesis G80 AWD 3.5T Sport Prestige sedan, which is stunning in almost every department from the empowering shielded grille to its athletic performance. Its long, elegant, and attractive physique is uniquely outfitted all around, and the thrilling drive from its 3.5-liter V6 is more than memorable. Plus, the G80 Sport includes a complimentary Service Valet with scheduled maintenance and at-home pick-up for three years / 60,000 miles. Genius!

My weekly loaner arrived in a Tazman Blue hue, but I prefer the G80 Sport in Cavendish Red, inspired by the stunning red sand of the cliffside township on Prince Edward Island in Canada. Pretty clever. The ride pops from exclusive dual oval exhaust tips, LED quad headlights, and 20″ sport alloy wheels as part of the optional $6,300 Prestige Package. This upgrade also includes an electronically controlled suspension, rear-wheel steering (a company first), carbon fiber trim, heads-up display, Nappa leather, and a few other tech features. Yet, I can do without the gimmicky Remote Smart Parking Assist. I’ve used the feature once on a Hyundai and decided never again because it’s not a natural parking act and requires too much time. The 5-star rims are finished with a pronounced waffle pattern that you will love or hate. I think they are cool, but traditionally Genesis does not make desirable rim styles.

Safety seems to fall to the back of the line when discussing sport-luxury vehicles, but Genesis ensured that its suite of advanced driver assistance technologies took precedence. Bravo since the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) honored all 2022 Genesis models with the TOP SAFETY PICK+ (TSP+) for this year. For example, the G80 includes Forward Collision Avoidance-Assist with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Keep Assist, Blind-Spot Collision Warning, and more. “At Genesis, safety is our top priority and the customer is at the center of every decision we make,” said Claudia Marquez, chief operating officer of Genesis Motor North America. “Safety is emphasized in the design and engineering of our award-winning vehicles.”

2022 Genesis G80 Sport 20 wheels

Yes, the vehicle is quick, agile, and dynamic, with perpetual grace emanating from the V6’s 375-horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque. A 2.5-liter G80 is also at your disposal starting at $48,000. AWD, Pirelli P Zero performance tires, and a sports-tuned suspension allow you to handle the G80 with more aggression if you choose. I enjoyed shifting the 8-speed automatic through the paddle shifters while cruising smoothly in Comfort or Sport modes. However, be careful with Sport + mode since that setting turns off traction control. More importantly, the Korean sports sedan will self-brake if it thinks you’re about to rear-end someone or hit something.

The grandeur of the interior is highlighted by V-patterned leather sport seats that hug your ribs during maneuvers, carbon fiber trim (sport aluminum standard), panoramic sunroof with a split opening shade, and sport model-specific 3-spoke steering wheel. Creative liberty resulted in a knurled rotary gear dial, control pad, volume and tuner, temp controls, side view mirror controls, and window tab tips. Silver grilles for the 21-speaker premium Lexicon audio system almost match the knurled knob theme. A small digital touchscreen is utilized for the 3-zone climate adjustments and a 14.5” HD touchscreen takes center stage for apps, music, navigation, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. However, I would like to see USB-c ports for the next model year update. The control module is a bit overdone as well. It feels like an intermix of what BMW and Lexus implement for operating the infotainment system. Passengers will be delighted with the exemplary space and comfort in the rear.

Starting at $63,450 for the 3.5-liter G80 Sport, my G80 AWD 3.5T Sport Prestige package came in at $71,670 with all its shiny bells and whistles. With thoughtful safety features, standout styling, and too many cockpit amenities to mention, the latest G80 is a solid luxury option for your vehicle portfolio.

NFL: Week Two Recap | Jalen Hurts did not fold; Caleb Williams exits game with injury

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts found Darius Cooper with nine seconds left for the game winning touchdown as his team beat the Tennessee Titans 24-20 in Nashville. Hurts finished the day 26/37 for 264 yards. He threw for two touchdowns and two interceptions. Prior to the final drive, the Eagles ran 25 plays for 45 […]

Prior to the final drive, the Eagles ran 25 plays for 45 yards. During the final drive Hurts went 6-8 with 61 passing yards and the touchdown. Titans defensive tackle — and team captain — Jeffery Simmons said this week that the way to defend Jalen Hurts is to make him “play quarterback.”

Hurts said to Simmons after today’s game: “You started that sh**. I had to finish it.”

Running back Saquon Barkley suffered a stinger in the first half but he ultimately finished the game. He had four carries and nine yards and one catch for eleven yards. He will get an MRI for his injury, but admitted to Cameron Wolfe of the NFL Network he was fine.

Caleb Williams leaves game against Vikings with apparent lower-body injury

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams was helped off the field with a right leg injury with 7:42 remaining in the fourth quarter. Williams was down, writhing in pain after scrambling to his left. After departing the injury tent, Williams raised his right fist, acknowledging the crowd while expressing his frustration. Testing will commence on Monday to find out more details about his injury.

“We’ll know tomorrow,” Johnson admitted regarding Williams’ injury. “He’s in good spirits. He’s a team player.”

Williams finished the day with 138 passing yards and one interception.

“I’m actually happy it’s nothing with the knee — that was my first inclination,” Johnson said. “But, a hamstring could be pretty damaging as well. So, we’ll see. We’ll see how bad it is tomorrow and we’ll go from there.”

Bryce Young once again dominated the Falcons

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young is 5-1 against the Atlanta Falcons and is undefeated at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Today, Young threw for 287 yards and three touchdowns as he led the Panthers to a 34-3 dismembering of the Atlanta Falcons. Georgia Tech alumnus Darren Waller caught two touchdowns and linebacker Devin Lloyd returned one of his two interceptions for a touchdown.

Cooper Rush started his second straight game for the Falcons and it did not go well. The partisan crowd voiced their displeasure after Rush completed 10/17 passes for 86 yards and two interceptions. Jack Strand entered the game for Rush prompting cheers from the Falcons fans. The rookie threw a pick-six on his first career pass attempt. Strand was the first QB to accomplish that feat since Sam Darnold in 2018 and is the first Falcons player to do that since Brett Favre in 1991. Strand finished the day with 59 passing yards and 16 rushing yards.

According to reports, quarterback Michael Penix, Jr. is expected to make his season debut this Thursday at the Green Bay Packers. His return should help the Falcons. They are the first team since the 2008 Rams to not run any plays in the red zone after the first two games to open a season.

The bright spots for the Falcons today were the Spelman College Jaguarettes performing with the Falcons cheerleaders and Florida A&M’s marching band, The Marching 100, also performed during halftime!

Jayden Daniels gets carted off after apparent arm injury

Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels appeared to injure his left elbow on the final play of the first half in his game against the Dallas Cowboys. During the play, Daniels got stepped on, braced himself for the fall, and his elbow bent the wrong way. Daniels draped a towel over his head as he exited the field on the cart.

He was later ruled out.

Daniels suffered a dislocated elbow to the same arm during week nine of last season against the Washington Commanders, which led to him being shut down for the remainder of the season.
