Genesis, Lincoln and Volvo are 3 worthy, left-field alternatives to Germany's luxury sedans 

1. Lincoln 2. Genesis 3. Volvo Props to Lincoln, the Continental is gorgeous! For the price Lincoln easily takes the cake!

Genesis is going strong the next 10 years is going to be really interesting for this brand

That Lincoln looks good.

I’d say Lincoln priced the Continentals just right for the segment and the amount you get from either engine and the optional AWD along with the tech and infotainment. It’s priced right there at the sweet spot and gives the competition a run for their money. You can’t beat real wood grain and a million way adjustable seats.

For me it would be the lincoln. I like the fact that it has features that make it comfortable and a list of engines to pick from

True. Genesis looks BOSS when you see one of those cruising on a Highway! I saw it when I passed by on I-93 I was like wow! It's huge and you could get totally fooled by thinking that's S-Class 550.

Genesis is basically German, from designers to engineer.

Hyundai went from a car that no one would be caught dead in, into a car that is just as good as Lexus and BMW within a matter of 15 years. impressive

Genesis just went from zero to one hundred in just one year. Their car has this look and feel, as if it's a long established luxury car brand. Genesis Motors isn't fooling around. They mean business.

1. Genesis 2. Lincoln 3. Volvo, but only because I don’t trust the turbo & SC engine, plus I read the electronics (centre screen) is faulty.

ya Genesis for me..i like volvo too..but in this battle ...Ya Genesis..its soo big and comfy and lovely interior than the other 2. Volvo interior is soooo small in this category. and I dont like the Lincoln rear design. I think overall Genesis wins too!!..great choice. My next car or used car will def be a Genesis ( in a few years)

The Lincoln Center arm rest has rear controls as well this isn’t a good review.

Lincoln Continental must definitely win this like... Easily.

Lincoln is by far the winner for me! This is the car that has convinced me the American market has turned around at long last. I actually like the fact that the Continental has subdued styling. It looks classy and not overbearing. It epitomizes the "stealth wealth" philosophy. I desperately wish for the luxury market to not surrender to the German and Japanese monoliths.

Three gorgeous cars. I'm actually glad an American car can now stand up next to the Swede and Korean. Congratulations Lincoln! Welcome to the club!

Nice comparison review, RoadShow! I recently got the chance to review the Genesis G90, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much it offered (as STANDARD equipment). Also, the cabin was remarkably comfortable, and offered more than enough space for my 5'11" height (in both the front and rear). Unfortunately, I haven't been able to review the Volvo S90, nor have I been able to get my hands on the new Lincoln Continental... But, once I do, I will happily report back on my findings. Thanks again for this entertaining comparison review between 3 unexpectedly amazing premium luxury sedans. From one car reviewer to another, keep up the great work! 👍🏽

this channel deserves more subscribers !

I'm liking all 3 cars, but the Genesis tested here was the base model. The V8 model has reclining rear seat and extra controls which the other 2 don't even have as an option, plus over 400hp, like its had since around 2011. I would have liked to know how the sound systems compare since the G90 has some of the best sound around but I've not tested the other two. Overall, it's nice to have competition and great features at a much lower price than BMW/Audi/Merc which have been charging a lot more for much less.

How is the engine in the Volvo going to hold up... Supercharged & turbo 4cyl in such a big heavy car?

Test drove all three including the CT6 with a friend who was in the same market. I chose the Lincoln because I really like the styling and comfort. My only gripe so far is the fuel economy- I wish it had an 8 or 10 speed transmission, but after a year of ownership, I've come increasingly to appreciate it and the craftsmanship that went into it. The Continental continues to get attention everywhere I go, perhaps necause it's rarely seen in Southern California, but I've been asked about it more than any other car I've owned (though to be honest, this is the most extravagant vehicle I've owned). My friend chose the Volvo mainly because of the looks, and sadly, his ownership experience has been the total opposite. He admits that he actually prefers driving his old Avalon because it's more comfortable. And when test driving the Volvo that was my biggest gripe about. It just didn't feel "luxurious." It felt rather cheap for a 70K car. For example, a BMW feels sporty, but a good quality sporty. The Continental feels absolutely comfortable. The Volvo (along with the G90) falls somewhere in between, but not the good kind, if that makes any sense. It's more "harsh" than sporty and more "bouncy" than comfortable.

I am also waiting for G70 as well... But I waiting for the N version which they announced they will make, the G70N... Now, this suddenly Genesis is in M5 and Audi RS5 category! Wow, love this company, Genesis; how the heck do they accomplish so many things in such a short time?? Kudos and respect to those Genesis engineers..

Lincoln for me

very fair comparison. I would definitely go with Genesis, old big brand names should learn from new comers that are actually better. no bias. thanks guys

My initial favorite is the Genesis, but the absence of Android Auto/CarPlay is a huge negative as I use AA almost every drive. Once the G90 gets AA/CP, there's no question that it would be my go to alt lux.

Volvo and Genesis are a close tie. I'd get the Genesis, mostly because I'd be concerned about the long term reliability of the Volvo engine. If the volvo had a V6 or V8 it'd be a tougher choice.

I rather get the Volvo or Genesis my mom is thinking about getting the G80 Sport

Where ir the K900? Still for sale?

Got around to test drive a Genesis g90 and man that thing is plush. Smooth and quiet ride, it looks great too.

The Continental is a timeless beauty.

What neighbourhood were they driving through? Those houses looked gorgeous.

I’ll get the conti

I'm not going to stress over which I would rather want, I'll take all 3

Where Is Cooley?

The Volvo is going to overboard with a turbo and supercharger on the same damn engine! I’d do the Lincoln or the G90.

Is there a workaround to get Android Auto in this version of the G90?

In the S90, the air suspension is only on the rear and its only for leveling. It does absolutely nothing about ride quality. The 2018 rides wayyyyy better than the 2017’ for the simple fact that they stretched the wheelbase a few inches.

It's hard to pick when all three are so gorgeous.

Lincoln have iconic image, volvo have safety image, genesis have good try on new models..and need to gain some unique spot on further decades..thats all.

well im not surprised. my boss even traded his bmw 7 series with the G90. Very very comfortable ride.

You guys should take the Lincoln for a long trip. There are reports that even though the seats have lots of adjustments, they are hard and uncomfy on long trips

i dont know if the button right there when you swipe is what you call "fishing through menus"

Were was this filmed!!!!???

Conti for the win!!

Genesis

After five Lincolns the Continental gets my vote.

I agree with your final result: the best is the Genesis G90

Lincoln Continental For the win In my opinion. Fantastic car

I would take the Lincoln all day long...

Well, the Genesis is sort of German, since Hyundai/Kia is run by designers/engineers formerly of the VW group, namely Schreyer & Donkerwolke.

Take the Genesis over the other 2 by a mile.. Not even close..

you can get the continental with the rear armrest that controls the radio and the a/c

The Ford is reliable now but the brakes do randomly go out and fail (I own one and they failed cost 289 dollars to fix one brake caliper and it was not covered by the extended warranty, mileage it happened at 37800 miles perfectly out of warranty. Be sure to buy a better braking system than what comes installed). The Genesis may be the better choice for cost and the Volvo is also a great choice but materials may not be up to par in both options.

The Lincoln Continental is very nice and loaded

Great vid guys. .all 3 are very nice cars...

I would take the Volvo, hands down.

FWD? Ewww. Genesis, Babe.

Which is the quietest ride?

the G90 is very big in person and looks really impressive on highway cruising

To each their own but for the 30-way seats and the 400 HP I would take the Lincoln all day :)

A Great job Guys. Thanks for the review. Very well thought out and edited. Thanks again.

Lincoln

How reliable are turbo cars?

I was really excited when I was test driving the S90 and the XC90 a few months ago but the drive trains on all variants were not what I expected. Even the hybrid was Clunky and unrefined it was a pity cuz the design is so elegant.

The S90 doesn't compete with these other two. It competes with mid sizers. I hate when car channels do this because this could have been a nice review otherwise.

Not to mention you can get a V8 with the G90, and clear the others out instantly.

Great reviews, guys.

Anyone know where this was filmed?!

Lol you guys passed my house in the Video. Grosse Pointe Farms

What is the title of this intro background song with strings?

The Volvo is the only one I would consider. I actually like it a lot

The g90 has screens in the back on the newer version

Come on Lincoln won't last the test of time.

I wonder how different this comparison would have been had the v8 genesis and T8 volvo been chosen instead. The Lincoln had 400 hp, but thats not its base engine....

This channel had potential with the promise of cooley as a presenter, instead these randy presenters (bless their hearts) just dont stand out.

1 burger vs a bowl of rice vs a swedish meatball

Lincoln or Volvo for me

Just bought the Genesis this week, it is sweet.

That twin charge engine design Volvo will last 50k miles. Also Genesis is RWD, The sound of that Volvo engine at full tilt is awful buzzy and not luxury

Nice drive down Jefferson Ave in Gross Point, I would definitely take the Lincoln. It has power, safety, plenty of tech, and the seats that you can really dial in for your body. If the Volvo had a larger Engine and better driveline, it would be my 2nd choice.

I have a problem with Hyundai products. Their styling is unoriginal and derivative of other cars. They copy Fusion, Mercedes, Bentley, and Audi.

Now the real question is which will bomb in value the most over 2-3 years? That's the only way I'd buy one. I would opt for the V90 but as we can see people are opting for the XC90 few buy large sedans anymore.

G90 hand down the looks alone then Lincoln last volvo

I've found Apple CarPlay pretty useless when you need Waze

S90 hands down.

I want the American Lincoln. they have some of best seats too. You can adjust them in so many different ways you can adjust everything on the seats. Plus the Genesis is more expensive and only base model. lmao

Volvo for me.

is that lake Michigan?

The s90 is a midsize sedan, competes with 5 series, e class etc.

The surprise winner? Was there any doubt that the G90 wouldn't have won this comparison?? Why is the G90 even compared to a Volvo?

Thank you for being so honest with the shortcomings of the Volvo. I had the same thoughts about the flinty ride, loud and rough engine, etc. I don’t understand why other car reviewers praise the new Volvo’s so highly.

Genesis g90 all the way, plus 100k or 10 years power train warranty

Intro song name?

Genesis is the New Lexus, Except its not boring

The G90 is in a different category, a higher one. Volvo will be closest to German in feel. But it competes with the G80 more than G90. I'm not sure about Lincoln. The issue with the Volvo is it has a 4 cylinder engine and some don't want a 4 cylinder car in its class/price point. It is a rather nice car, however and I think the best looking of these three. About the Volvo ride, take 2 pounds of air out of the tires. 19 inch is the best size. The 2018 s90 improved the rear legroom. With the G90, the glossy wood ages it. But this review was done in 2017. I agree that the G90 is the winner, but it is also in a higher category. Watch Genesis for style because the 2021 G80 is one of the most impressive looking sedans I've seen.

All three cars are very nice!

Great idea! Thanx!

All of these are good cars. But i will say. The volvo is down on power and Hyundai couldve done better with those headlamps and the Lincoln is well..... not really any problems there. One thing i think they all should look at is giving them a bit more horse power, but thats just me.

You said you put the S90 in sport mode and found it bumpy in town (believable) and you're also on the 20" wheels and the "wrong" tires. You can't change the tires, but at least put the car in comfort mode and tell us how it drives then.

The Genesis is WELL known to break down right after its warranty runs out (after 100,000miles). They must have missed that the Lincoln push-buttom transmission has two options of drive, D and S (for sport). If you choose S, it handles and accelerates more like a spoort car and the transmission. The Lincolns also have a huge sunroof. If I had it all to do over however, I'd just get a really nice Honda Accord. I know people who have 450000 miles on their Accords and they're still going strong. Reliability wasn't mentioned much and it is, to me, very important. Volvo is a family car. The genesis isn't reliable if you go online and read customer accounts. The Lincoln wins because its the only 'real' luxury car in this lineup. Nowadays its better to start with reliability.

Presentation is nice, but try to seem more natural and less like you guys have a strict script to follow.
