      Hyundai News:"Pure Flow, Refined" IONIQ 6 and IONIQ 6 N Line Unveiled at 2025 SEOUL Mobility Show

      By G. David Felt · Posted

      Based on the pictures, it would appear what went into the EV9 has been pushed out to the other EVs in Hyundai and Genesis based on the pictures. If so, then a decent set of physical switches for the most common features and a very user-friendly thought-out interface imho. I like this new updated design much better than generation 1. I am very excited to see what comes of the next 18 months. Seems to be a weird assortment of some companies are investing in the U.S. to ensure market share gain and production with minimal tariff affect like the 21 billion Kia/Hyundai/Genesis are investing and then others are cancelling plants like Ford and GM. Then you have the Europeans that have come out and stated they will have a Tariff line cost on each auto now with no changes in production as I think they are figuring 47 could be gone soon based on recent video of him and his leg dragging, slurring of speech and freezing in talking and someone else will have common sense to set fair trade negotiations and balance the craziness out.

      My main question is if they improved the center console.  I really like the Ioniq 6, but the center console of the interior was such a huge miss in terms of material quality and construction that it killed the car for me. It was odd that given the level of quality in the rest of the interior that one of the most touched items in the car outside of the steering wheel was an obvious afterthought to the design team.

      Interesting read, I have to agree that the writer hits a number of solid points as to why the whole Tariff mess actually will help EVs as ICE dies. Why EV-hating Trump has accidentally driven the final nail in the coffin of gas cars Interesting read and I can see dealerships ripping up current unsigned contracts to reap bigger profits on autos on the lot now before the more expensive ones show up. US consumers rush to buy big-ticket items before Trump's tariffs kick in

      Genesis News: Genesis Reveals Gran Coupe and Gran Convertible Concepts at the 2025 Seoul Mobility Show

      Yes Genesis is not as high as they were in 2017 for the G90, but they have been slowly climbing the last 3 years, so we will see how it goes. I think breaking it out as a stand alone luxury division is a smart move. https://carfigures.com/us-market-brand/genesis/g90 Yet if you look at U.S. total sales of all models, Genesis has continued to increase in sales each year.

      Here's the problem, the G90 doesn't sell, and coupes and convertibles don't sell, combing both would be a disaster.   If they did a mid-size car maybe they would have a chance, but maybe they feel like the 4-series and CLE already kind of took that space away. And Cadillac for sure needs to do a coupe version of whatever replaces the CT5.  I think if you took a Lyriq drivetrain and throw a coupe body on that for $70-80k range they have a winner.
