It’s a little odd to spend time in a big sedan nowadays, or any sedan if we’re honest. Buyers demand high seating positions and a big cargo area. Sedans don’t deliver on the former, and rarely the latter. We get it; practicality, easier ingress and an expansive view are appealing. But sedans are still usually the better machine for driving, plus they offer far sleeker looks. And Genesis is building some of the best. It even has three whole sedan lines, still, including the subject of today’s feature, the Genesis G90. This full-size sedan is a rare beast, but a good one. It looks great, drives great, and, at least for the segment, it’s a great deal. Let’s dig into those aspects.

4 thoughts about the 2024 Genesis G90

The sad truth that every car enthusiast has faced over the past decade is that the manual transmission is slowly being phased out. While there are certain cars in the market like the Honda Civic Si, Acura Integra Type S, Mazda MX-5, and some pony cars still available with a stick shift, most other models are not. Let's face it, most drivers look at driving as something to do between point A to B, while enthusiasts look at it as an experience to be enjoyed.

The Touring is indistinguishable from the M5 sedan from the B-pillars forward. The aggressive front clip, the filled-in kidneys, the additional track width versus a regular 5 Series; it’s all here. From the rear doors back, this model applies the M5 treatment to the 5 Series Touring found in other markets. A long window line should provide great visibility, with swollen rear arches just below to contain the huge 21-inch alloys wrapped in 295-width rubber. The Touring’s taillights offer a more traditional L-shape, wrapping around to the sides of the car. The prominent diffuser is still present as on the sedan, its shape mirrored in the sizeable rear spoiler atop the tailgate.

The 2025 BMW M5 Touring Hauls in More Ways Than One

From the December 1987 issue of Car and Driver. Charles Darwin died in 1882, four years too early to contribute anything to automobile engineering, but he was hell on wheels when it came to his theory of evolution. Almost single-handedly he threw a monkey wrench into by-the-Good Book, old-time religion. Roughly put, Darwin held that God didn't really pop packets of Instant Adam 'n' Eve into his celestial microwave; instead, the subhuman race took time to crawl before it could walk, and somewhere along the line we Homo sapiens all had apes swinging in our family trees. Now here we are, naturally selected simian descendants—smack in the age of manna, Vanna, and hot-car nirvana—and those of us who like to monkey around with cars have got the good life. For proof that automotive evolution can be nearly as miraculous as God's more basic monkey business, you have only to go out and strap on the new BMW M5.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

Major changes to how real estate transactions are conducted are set to take affect this month that will effect how both sellers, and buyers, compensate their agents. On March 15, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) settled a lawsuit brought by home sellers regarding how broker commissions were handled. As a result of that settlement, the NAR will remove agent compensation amounts from Multiple Listing Services, provide detailed compensation information to buyers and sellers and attain a written agreement outlining that compensation structure.

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.

The manual transmission may be dying, but the 7-speed manual transmission is all but dead. This peculiar transmission type first popped up in 2012 with the introduction of the 991 generation of the Porsche 911. In that instance, Porsche and transmission supplier ZF engineered the manual and PDK to share many of the same components to help fuel economy and make parts more common along the range. Today, only one vehicle still uses a 7-speed manual in the US, and instead of speed and fuel efficiency, it's built for improved off-road prowess.
