Introduced in 2015 in Korea (around the same time the Genesis brand was created), the G90 would be first seen in our neck of the woods at the 2016 North America International Auto Show, officially going on sale that same year.

Since then, two engine options have been available, a 3.3-liter, twin-turbocharged V6 and a 5.0-liter V8. The power output for the engines is 365 horsepower and 420 horsepower when run on premium fuel, respectively.

Rear-wheel-drive is standard, though all-wheel-drive can be had for either engine. No matter the configuration, however, all models send power to the wheels through an eight-speed automatic.

We recently got the keys to a V6-powered, rear-wheel-drive version of Genesis's flagship model. Keep reading below to find out for yourself what it's like to drive.

Wheels......the UK called and they want their dartboards back.  Okay, I've used that line before, but it's just so fitting.

A family friend just retired and decided to get himself a retirement gift. He went from a barely running, hit-everything-but-the-lottery 2007 Civic sedan to one of these with the 5.0L V8. Talk about a leap! I got to take a ride in it. The thing was incredible. I was able to sit in the back and cross my legs in comfort. It's an impressive car.

Sat in one of those at the local auto show last year and I was really impressed with the interior. It was a nicer place to spend time then all the German cars that were there.

The back seat looks like a nice place to be.  "Sir, your Uber Black has arrived."

Our test car had these wheels. I dug them.
