It's not really a comparison when the review starts with waxing lyrical about how great the GLE is and slagging off the GV in the first minute

[kth]

Although I like the Mercedes more, however, the overwhelming bias by one of the reviewers towards Mercedes makes this review totally unfair. Beside he thinks that he is funny and somebody needs to inform him that he is not.

[gasstation]

Takahashi taking the piss on a Korean car? lol sure didn't see that coming. /s

[scotttanner]

I agree with many of the comments. I get the intended satire or persona that was attempted regarding brand snobs, however, there wasn’t enough objectivity, and at the end of the day, you simply came across as biased towards the Benz to the point where I simply can’t take your comments about the Genesis or the BMW seriously. I appreciate the humour and attempt, it just didn’t work here. No disrespect intended.

[JamesMaccarone]

Maybe the worst car review I've ever watched. The "comedy" was cringey and derailed the review constantly.

[jhoserovi]

GV80 is the SUV to beat, Value vs. Price is unbeatable.

[genesisg]

This reviewer has an issue with Korean vehicles.
Tries to talk about style, while wearing a ponytail in 2021!
Go figure!
I'm willing to bet that his breath stinks!
See how Ryan moves everytime he gets close.
Breath like hot dog dodo, fresh out the butt!

[aaronwalker]

The Benz is $12K more and the BMW is $18K more. The fact that the Genesis is even close is EXACTLY why it’s the SUV to buy. Value that the other two cannot match. Period.

Mark dislikes Genesis so we already knew how.this was going to end. Please take off the sunglasses. I would go Genesis GV80 personally. Love the bespoke elegant design inside and out. I'm not lapping the 'Ring anytime soon in an SUV so I appreciate the classic luxury in the Genesis. The interior colors are fantastic and very inviting. No piano black plastic inside is refreshing. Not all about the LCD screens.

I had a BMW X5, ended up with the trans broke in half in the middle of the highway. German cars are built for performance but not reliability. Genesis has a better value, Mercedes Nickel and dimes you to $80k. This review was awful and bias.

[joalblo]

This review was biased from the start. It's almost like Edmunds hates Genesis. I've watched their other reviews on Genesis and their bias is obvious.

[TheKiing]

Hated it. You could have made a stronger argument for gv. The others are stalwarts.. We know this already. Redue this review with Carlos and will be fine. Otherwise hated it

[Abdulaziz]

Is this episode Ad for german cars especially GLE?
Or you have an issue with Korean brand(GENESIS) which is posing a threat to competitors?

[arthurcheng]

Mark is trying too hard and he's much too biased to make this an enjoyable comparison video to watch.

[_jg]

The GV80 is far better looking and is hard to beat with the 10yr/100k mile warranty. Also, Edmunds needs to keep the openly biased Mark off the Genesis videos. His take on the GV70 was garbage.

[julius]

This Mark, guy is annoying in this review never use him again

[CapELarry]

This video was actually difficult to watch. Mark is off-putting.

[rashiksharar]

You forgot to mention how the GLE interior creaks. -_-

[suzg]

I love my GV80!!!! Plus 10 year maintenance 💥

[ctk]

Wrong guy to use to compare Korean cars, he hates them all!! "Browmeister"?? LOL!!
