Jon Summers is the Motoring Historian. He was a company car thrashing technology sales rep that turned into a fairly inept sports bike rider. On his show he gets together with various co-hosts to talk about new and old cars, driving, motorbikes, motor racing, motoring travel.

In this episode, Jon reviews three Genesis vehicles during a road test in Santa Cruz. Exploring the Genesis GV80 Coupe, GV80, and G80 sedan, he compares them to other luxury brands like Bentley and Lexus. He discusses his initial skepticism about SUV coupes, his experiences with the vehicles' infotainment systems, and the pros and cons of their design and performance. He finds the GV80 Coupe particularly impressive for its luxury feel and lessens the sting of its high price point. Jon also mentions how the Genesis brand is evolving its own design language, distinct from other luxury brands. The episode ends with a nod to his favorite, the G80 sedan.

====================
  • Judas Priest - Riding On the Wind
  • A digression on speed dating
  • Genesis GV80 Coupe - The Car Least Likely To Make You Regret Your Car Payment, “a driver focused design”, mesh design theme J loves
  • Lexus vs. Toyota, leather heated seats worth the extra $
  • No creep in the transmission
  • Hyundai Equus Kia K900
  • New cars having different methods of starting / putting in gear. Unlike the cars we grew up with. Usually buttons “30 secs on the microwave, please”
  • Testament - Electric Crown
  • Genesis GV80 - “the Range Rovery one”. 17mpg instead of 13mpg for the GV80 Coupe
  • Genesis G80 sedan. J’s favourite. The blobby wheels. Red leather interior. Terrific at high speed. Compares favourably with J’s old AMG Benz, a RWDV8 vs this, a AWD turbo V6. Old fashioned big fast sedan, it is a one size fits all, track day or airport limo.
  • Genesis Sport vs. Sport+ settings
  • Judas Priest - Riding On The Wind
