artist profile 1. TELL US ABOUT YOUR WORK.
G L A SS. ROCK. B E AC H . Kiera Regan & Louann Regan
The jewelry we create is from found objects on Rhode Island beaches. Our jewelry features hand-picked sea glass and shells encrusted with pyrite on either brass or silver plated cuff bracelets, sterling silver or gold plated chain, and sterling silver, brass plated, and gold filled earring posts and hoops. All shells and glass are hand-picked from Indonesia, Thailand, Hawaii, Rhode Island, and other New England beaches. These elements are sometimes on their own, and other times combined with semi-precious stones such as pearls, malachite, turquoise, hematite, and other various stones.
2. IS THERE A STORY BEHIND THE NAME OF YOUR BUSINESS?
Glass.Rock.Beach. is the basis of our jewelry design and crafting materials, namely Rhode Island sea glass, pyrite for its iridescent quality. We source and hand-pick our sea glass and shells from the beaches we encounter. We are continuously inspired to search for sea glass, beautiful beach rocks, and shells on our Rhode Island beaches. Our business was formed out of a mutual love of creating ocean art. We are a mother daughter business creating jewelry featuring elements of the beach.

OCE A N S TAT E AUGUST 2017
We have always enjoyed painting and working with different materials that provide functional and decorative products. The inspiration is usually sourced from nature. (Kiera) I grew up seeing my mom creating all this beautiful art, she was kind of a jack of all trades, painting, sewing, designing jewelry, upholstering furniture. I watched her attend RISD for Decorative Painting when I was finishing up high school. She inspired me to always be creative and to focus on the arts. As a result, I took as many art classes as possible in both high school and then in college, receiving a minor in Studio Art at the University of Rhode Island. I also always was interested in jewelry design and started playing around with beads and findings at a young age. As time went on I continued to create including painting and jewelry design, and enrolled in a semester of Introduction to Jewelry Design at RISD in my early 20’s. During my 6 years living on the island of Maui, I was always painting items I found on the beaches and in the jungles, and designing jewelry from the shells I picked on my daily beach hunts. In 2015, I moved back to Rhode Island to be E TS Y.CO M / SHOP / GL A SSRO CKBE ACH / ITE M S
closer to my family, and my mother and I resumed beach hunting. We continued to search for shells, but were also inspired to search for sea glass as well. We began doing this regularly, picking sea glass and designing jewelry pieces, and decided it was time to start our business. We take pride in the fact that our pieces are locally picked, designed, and handmade. (Louann) I’m a graduate of Rhode Island School of Design where I majored in Decorative painting. I currently custom paint faux finishes on furniture and walls, such as marbling, glazing. I addition, I create hand-painted fabric purses, hand-painted jewelry, as well as designing sea glass and shell jewelry.
4. WHERE DO YOU DRAW YOUR INSPIRATION?
(Kiera) I draw inspiration from my time living on the island of Maui where I snorkeled, went diving, and shell hunting on the many beautiful beaches I encountered. I also visited Indonesia and Thailand and collected many shells and found inspiration in the beauty, art, and indigenous people I came into contact with. I also draw inspiration from the fact that I grew up in the beautiful state of Rhode Island with our own share of gorgeous coastlines and beaches. (Louann) As a twenty five year resident of the Rhode Island community, the coastal areas are our favorite places to walk and enjoy. The morning sun throughout all the seasons give way to a glistening and breathtaking view of the landscape and the ocean.
5. WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE ITEM TO CREATE?
We both agree our favorite item to create is pyrite encrusted sea glass cuffs bracelets. We love the beautiful colors of glass we have found, and include these on brass and silver plated cuffs.
6. WHAT’S YOUR BEST SELLER?
Pyrite encrusted sea glass pendants are our best seller currently, but we are hoping through more networking and exposure that our shell designs will become just as desirable.
7. HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN RHODE ISLAND?
Our family moved to Rhode Island in 1988. (Louann) I have continued to live in Rhode Island since 1988. (Kiera) I lived in Rhode Island until 2009, when I
got the opportunity to go work in a middle school on the island of Maui. I lived in Hawaii for 6 years before becoming home sick and wanting to be closer to family. I moved back to Rhode Island in 2015.
8. WHAT DO YOU {HEART} ABOUT RHODE ISLAND?
We love that beaches Pyrite encrusted scallop shell (Picked on Rhode and water surround Island beach) & faceted us, and that the beach blue chalcedony pendant is our favorite place to on 16” sterling silver snake be! We love that we can chain $29 pick beautiful natural treasures from our beaches to create our jewelry designs.
9. FAVORITE PLACE TO TAKE OUT-OF-TOWNERS?
Peabody’s beach is our secret spot. It is beautiful white sand on a protected ocean cove. And as true New Englanders, taking our out of town guests to get some good seafood at a water front restaurant is a must!
10. ANY ADVICE FOR NEW/WANNABE MAKERS?
Network, promote your business, get your name out there, and be persistent. We also encourage new/ wannabe makers to love what they do. Be passionate, work hard, and always be humble to the beauty you encounter.
11. PLEASE INCLUDE ANYTHING ELSE YOU’D LIKE TO ADD:
The philosophy behind Glass Rock Beach is believe in the art you create, wear it yourself and love it, and utilize as many E r i ka S m i t h found objects to m ove d to Rh o d e come up with your Island in 2008 a n d i m m e d i ate l y product.

IT’S SURE TO BE THIS SUMMER’S
most sought after ticket. In fact, it’s already been selling out every weekend. I know this because we tried to buy two tix for last Saturday and no dice. (In addition, someone who works there told us as much yesterday once our rail ride was fini.) I’m talking about something new and fun-tastic in Portsmouth called Rail Explorers. We gave it a whirl Thursday afternoon (They’re only open for biz Thurs. thru Sunday, so plan accordingly.) and I’m here to share a few tips and highlights. First and foremost, be sure to wear your sneakers and comfy clothes (It’s NOT the time to channel Victoria Beckham.) and cancel your spin class for that day because you’ll be pedaling their signature Rail Explorers (There are 2 options: one model seats 2 and the other seats up to 4. In the photo above, all the cars look attached, but they are simply set up that way at the start.) 6 miles down some ‘retired’ railroad tracks (12 miles if you chose the roundtrip option. More about that in a sec.), with some spectacular views of the Bay and The Mount Hope Bridge. That being said, I’d
recommend bringing along a friend (or group) who tends to be sporty and outdoorsy. In other words, someone who would definitely be jazzed about breaking a sweat while taking in some of the loveliest views in the OS. Originally we had planned and paid for the 6 mile, one way trip, until someone from Rail Explorers asked if anyone would be interested in taking a FREE ride back to base. (For the record, if you purchase the one way trip, they do chauffeur you by tour back to the starting point where your car is waiting patiently.) Blame it on my Type A, competitive side as well as the fact that the 2nd leg was suddenly complimentary (Online it’s priced at an additional $75 minus a 10% discount for a party of 2.), but I jumped at the opportunity. And that’s how we ended up actually logging 12 miles on the tour (Not for everyone, but we were pretty proud to have pushed thru! It was like our version of an Iron Man. lololol), which we celebrated immediately following with a delicious dinner, that included pasta, at a restaurant not very far from the scene of our pedaling truimph. •

Providence River Boat Tour LOOKING FOR SOMETHING AFFORDABLE and memorable
to do on a date with your significant other (or SO, as all the cool kid bloggers are shortening it to these days) or your group of besties? For about $22 per person (Cash only, no plastic please.), you can reserve spots for a daytime or sunset Providence River Boat Tour and have the best time. It’s ok if you weren’t previously aware of this excursion because we only just found out about it ‘like’ last year. Before you go tho, here are a few key things to know: The point of departure is actually the Hot Club, giving you and yours an excellent excuse to hang out before or after to summer day (or night) drink on the waterfront. Yes, you can take your drink beer, cocktail, glass of whatever floats your boat (Get it? Lololololol) - from the Hot Club
along on your tour. We’ll drink to that! Captain Tom, who’ll also be your guide, has been doing this for close to 20 years, so even the most knowledgeable Ocean Stater (or resident know-it-all) will pick up some NEW fun facts about the River and more, which should come in handy when you’re trying to make small talk at that next cookout or cocktail party. You’ll finally find out where WaterFire Providence stores all that wood for the fires. And there are so many more ah-ha moments and anecdotes about practically every structure that currently lines the PVD River as well as those that used to back in the day. (Again, courtesy of Captain Tom.) They offer daytime, sunset, and private tours. That last option would so make an extra special birthday or anniversary gift for

Newport Vineyards
ALL OF A SUDDEN IT
seems as though everyone around me (Seriously tho!) is raving about this place, so I motored over to check it out for myself and am here to tell you that it is in fact EVERYTHING they’ve been saying and a bag of chips. So, yassss, I’m talking about Newport Vineyards which in a very Rhode Islandish twist is actually located in Middletown on East Main Road. (Translation - You do not cross the Pell Bridge.) Previously, I’d driven by on my way to other places. (Maybe a meal at the restaurant called Brix, that’s still there, a few years back?) Yesterday, however, was the first time in recent memory that I’ve been able to really scope things out and it was lovely and delightful in so many ways. (For starters, see photos above.)
Now, the exterior (Greenery, grapes, and June sunshine anyone?) and interior (updated rustic that’s inviting without being hokey) are equally fab, and you can take a tour with your squad and sample their wines for a pretty reasonable price, starting at around $12 per person. The thing I’m *legit* obsessed with, however, is the back patio that faces the vineyard and the group happily hanging out there, and of course drinking wine, yesterday. I mean, it could not have been more perfect: The scenery. The music. (For the record, don’t think it was live, but they do have live music on the menu many nights and weekends apparently.) The whole flipping vibe. An absolute ideal way to spend a few hours - or a lot of them - this time of year in the Ocean State. •

What To Wear
YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE A PREP
(boat shoes, pastel hues, khaki pants...you know the drill!), but you will need to do some minor prep for this trip, including: Slather on that sunblock because there is no overhang. Remember your sunnies, aka, sunglasses. Think slip-ons or sneakers, especially for the walk from the dock onto the boat. The ramp down to the tour boat is kind of steep too, so heels are a real no-no.

CREATING A STYLE UNIFORM Want to create your own “uniform”? Here are my tips 1. DECIDE WHAT ITEMS IN YOUR CLOSET FLATTER YOU THE MOST AND MAKE YOU THE HAPPIEST. Is it a great-fitting skinny pant? A pencil skirt? A dress? Jeans? Pick a few favorite pieces and build an outfit around them. Then, replicate the look using the same formula (i.e. skinny pants + silky blouse + skinny belt)
2. CHOOSE A COLOR PALETTE – DO YOU LOVE NEUTRALS? Focus on camels, creams,
and white, or black and grey. Love color? Go with bright magentas, greens and blues anchored with navy.
3. CREATE A STYLE MARK – add something to your outfits that shows some of your personality. A red lip? Bright shoes? A leopard print belt? Fun socks?

4. PARE DOWN YOUR CLOSET – get rid of what you don’t wear, and keep only
your most flattering pieces. From there you can tweak and upgrade your existing wardrobe. The average women wears 20% of her clothes, 80% of the time anyway.
5. SHOP INTENTIONALLY – know what works for you and only buy things that make you look and feel great and fit into your new uniform.

Food not only fantastic, but inspired us to mimic the recipes at home the following week!
COCKTAILS We started our meal with
BY WATER Restaurant Review Man Fuel Food Blog 54 State St. Warren, RI 02885
two cocktails. One, had a citrus base and used gin while the other sported blackberries and port wine. Both drinks were excellent and suited different taste preferences. The bartender at Bywater, as far as I can tell, is very skilled and creative.
HOUSE MADE PICKLES As a lover of DATE NIGHTS ARE PRECIOUS and tend to become more
infrequent the older people get, which coincides with taking on more responsibilities. As a result, it’s especially important to make those times count whether it’s a date night or just some free time out with friends. That’s why it hurts so much when that time is wasted on a disappointing restaurant. Luckily, Bywater delivered on not only great food, but also a wonderful first-time experience worthy of that precious time out.
SERVICE AND ATMOSPHERE Bywater is located on a quaint
small street in Warren, RI located near the waterfront (perhaps the reason for the name, “by water?”). The purposefully worn wood-plank sign carries the name of the restaurant over the door and gives a great representation of the forthcoming dining experience, which is essentially a finely crafted rustic quality. The interior is small with a few tables lining the walls as well as a bar area. The decor is simple, yet warm and modern with pastoral wood touches. The hosts and servers are all incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the somewhat small, yet frequently changing menu if you need help deciding between some of the delicious offerings or house-crafted cocktails.
FOOD Before deciding to go to Bywater, my wife and I
peeked at the online menu and noted its concise nature. The one page menu didn’t showcase a lot of items, but the ones described all sounded interesting enough to pique our interest. Unfortunately, the online menu isn’t up to date with what is actually offered in the restaurant as it changes “daily.” So, we had a sense of what to expect although the menu we experienced carried almost completely different entrees. Everything we tried was 16 OCE A N S TAT E AUGUST 2017
pickles, I couldn’t resist ordering the house pickles. I especially enjoy trying different takes on homemade pickling and Bywater delivered different flavors through a variety of vegetables. There were cucumbers, carrots, cauliflower, onions, and snap peas. The cucumbers were the sweetest, but not overly so. This was also the first time I had pickled snap peas and I must say that I was blown away. They were easily my favorite, followed by the pickled sweet onions.
ASPARAGUS I’ll admit I was skeptical
about ordering the asparagus. I’m often skeptical of ordering seemingly simple vegetable dishes as an appetizer because so often a chef simply decorates a plate to look pretty, but the flavors aren’t all that innovative. Thankfully, my wife convinced me otherwise and we ordered this fantastic dish. In fact, it may very well be the best asparagus preparation I’ve ever had. It consisted of grilled and lightly charred asparagus served with a delectable aioli sauce with ramps and maybe capers(?). I can’t remember all of the ingredients, but I do remember that my wife and I grilled asparagus about 3 times
that following week served with our own version of aioli just so we could experience something similar again!
STEAMED LITTLENECKS The key to
steamed littleneck clams or mussels is to keep things simple. The clams speak for themselves and Bywater understands that. They perfectly steam the clams so that they’re wonderfully juicy and tender. The liquid from the clams is preserved as a very simple herb-spiced broth served with the clams and two pieces of toasted bread for dipping. The simplicity of the broth is what makes it so great and perfect. The dish retains all of the clam flavor highlighted by the herbs rather than overshadowed by them. Delicious.
GRILLED CHICKEN SALAD Once again, I
foolishly doubted my wife’s order of a seemingly boring grilled chicken salad. To my chagrin, her salad tasted incredible! The chicken was charred yet tender and served over charred romaine lettuce that wasn’t soggy at all. It doesn’t sound like much, but charring romaine lettuce without wilting it too much is actually a skill. The dressed onions added some sweet tanginess to the plate and the thoroughly crispy potato curls on top of the salad really added a nice crunch. I was impressed by how Bywater executed such a simple idea as a grilled chicken salad in an innovative way.
ORECCHIETTE PASTA CARBONARA I
loved this dish. However, let me just say that I almost never order pasta out at restaurants and that’s because the vast majority of the time the offerings are something any person with a little skill could
make at home. Even worse is when a restaurant dares to serve a dish that is literally just pasta and red sauce. My wife, for example, still makes the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had, so when I go out I don’t bother with them. Nonetheless, on this evening, I saw the pasta on the menu and it just spoke to me. The little curved orecchiette pasta swam in a creamy, traditional egg-based sauce with cheese, small veggies, and bacon. Every bite was as good as the first and I was so happy to try a pasta dish that didn’t leave me filled with order regret.
OVERALL IMPRESSION Bywater is just
a wonderful little restaurant located in a picturesquely quaint part of Warren, RI. The atmosphere is really comfortable with a combination of modern and rustic touches. The service is efficient, friendly, and eager to make your night successful. Most importantly, the food is all fantastic from the simplest appetizers to the masterfully prepared and innovative takes on homestyle comfort food entrees. • Youssef writes for Man Fuel Food Blog, which features restaurant reviews, original recipes, and travel tips.

A COMFY CHAIR
Now isn’t the time to prioritize style over comfort. Whether your chair is a bean bag, a recliner, a small love seat, chaise, or just a regular chair, it’s gotta be something you can sit in for hours without thinking about how your back hurts or you butt has gone numb. I currently don’t own a chair other than 2 at my dining room table, but I’ve been keeping an eye out for a good one.
PLANTS
One of my favorite places to read is on the porch at my family’s summer cabin in Maine. There, every few pages, I can look up and enjoy the trees and the lake outside, and it’s really relaxing and helps put me in a good mood. Obviously that’s not a view that you can have all the time, but you can bring a part of the view to your apartment with a small tree or a plant or two. It’s an element that helps keep you reading nook cozy and cheerful. You can get your plant of choice at your local garden store or try a low maintenance faux option.

I BOUGHT A NEON LAMP
made up of white letters that spell “it was all a dream” last week. It has yet to arrive in the mail but I’m already unreasonably excited about it because 1) I finally found a neon light that spells something I can get behind and not just something basic like “live laugh love” and 2) the upcoming Instagram photo of said lamp with the caption “I used to read word up magazine.” Be cky Fre e ma n i s a native R hod e Isl a nd e r w ho l i ve s a nd w orks i n Prov i d e n c e .

All of the photos I’ve seen of these lamps in action usually put them above the bed or the couch. It looks good, but as I was thinking about where I would put mine once it arrived, I realized I don’t have a couch, and there isn’t enough wall space above my bed (scratch that, any wall space above my bed) where I can hang it. My bed is in the tower of our third floor apartment, meaning it’s in a sort of cave. But that’s neither here nor there. I have other walls, so where should I hang it? Then I put together a perfect, cozy, minimalist reading nook in my mind and I can’t wait to make it a reality. I know, way to go Becky, you spent your hard earned money in order to only need to spend even more of it. But it’s not that bad! My reading nook only needs three items in order to be complete:
And then obviously there’s the reading lamp. But not just any reading lamp, a super cool reading lamp like a neon sign, or a unique string of lights, or maybe a light box with a custom quote from your favorite book. It really depends on your own personal style but I like the idea of something fun and relaxed. Obviously your own personal reading nook can have more than just these three items. Maybe you want to be surrounded by your books while you read, so you keep a bookcase or shelf nearby. Maybe you like to snuggle when you read, so you keep a blanket on your chair. It’s really up to you to customize the nook further once you’ve got the essentials down. N E AR LY N ATUR AL 48 45 DECOR ATI VE CACTUS GAR DE N W I TH CE ME N T PL AN TE R AMAZON.COM $69.67

2018 GENESIS G80 SPORT Advertise WITH OCEAN STATE
EMAIL US AT:
Info@oceanstatemagazine.com 28 OCE A N S TAT E AUGUST 2017
For those of you not familiar with the Genesis name, let us give you a short history lesson. In the mid 2000s, Hyundai embarked on creating a luxury vehicle, that would be called “Genesis”. The proper research and development of this vehicle was so important to Hyundai, it took 23 months, was tested for over 800,000 miles, and cost a staggering $553 million dollars. Finally, in 2009 Hyundai introduced Genesis to the world with a model called, appropriately, the Hyundai Genesis. Five years later, the second generation Hyundai Genesis was introduced to the US at the North American International Auto Show in January of 2014, and went on sale later that year. But Hyundai was pondering a potential problem. No one wants to pull up at the country club in a mainstream nameplate. And although there’s nothing wrong with a Hyundai, especially these days, the pedestrian name, and lineup of everyday vehicles couldn’t overshadow what is to be a proper luxury brand. So in 2015, the folks at Hyundai decided
they’d create Genesis as a separate brand to market their high-end luxury wares. Similar to what Honda, Toyota, and Nissan have done before them with Acura, Lexus and Infiniti, Hyundai created a high-end brand, replete with high-end vehicles, and (will eventually have) high-end showrooms to go along with them. They even were starting the same as the others, with just two vehicles. So in 2017, Genesis was officially started. They offered the Genesis G80, which was a renamed Hyundai Genesis, and the larger, and more noteworthy vehicle, the ultra-luxury G90. The G90 was all-new, and has been the one that’s really dominated headlines. Everyone wanted to talk about the big sedan with the V8 and how it compared to the offerings from Germany and Japan. But we’ll save the G90 for another day. Right now, we’re driving the G80. Even though the G80 was nearly identical to the Hyundai Genesis, it had just recently been through a major redesign. Instead of the soft 3-box exterior, it took on the AUGUST 2017 O C EAN STATE 29
classic lines of a rear wheel drive saloon. Long hood, short overhangs, wide stance, and short decklid, it was a handsome design that rivaled many European sedans and fit in well with the new luxury division. And the G80 has the brands bigger seller, it even outsells the competitive offerings from Audi, Acura, Infiniti Lexus, Cadillac etc. About the only cars that sell better are the BMW 5 series and Mercedes E-Class. And the G80 holds its value better than most of its competitors too. In this area, it not only beats the Audi A6, but also the BMW 5 series, the Mercedes E class. The G80 is actually a size bigger than those competitors too. It has both more passenger space and more cargo space. It’s enough of a difference to be classified by the EPA as a “large” vehicle, where the others are classified as “midsize.” Our assessment of the G80 has been that it’s a roomy, capable and well equipped luxury car for folks who don’t need the reassurance of a wellknown badge, or even a lesser-known badge. The G80 is safe (five stars from NHTSA, IIHS gives it Top Safety Pick Plus status), comes standard with a luxury liner’s list of amenities including leather, an excellent infotainment system, power everything, and an expansive panoramic sunroof Add to that advanced safety features like Blind Spot Detection, Lane Keep Assist, Lane Departure Warning, Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Driver Attention Alert, and Rear Cross-traffic Alert, So that brings us to the 2018 model year, and the introduction of the G80 sport. In essence, the G80 sport is a G80 ultimate that’s been working out for a while. While it comes with everything the ultimate package does, and then adds more features, the real difference is that it gets a serious dose of sport, which we’ll get to in a minute.
dark satin trim on the lower section of the doors, surrounding the windows and set within the door handles. black side mirrors which include a smoke- colored turn signal indicator. smoke-colored taillights and a sport-design rear fascia with an integrated chrome quad exhaust and a glossy black lower diffuser.
Sport Performance: There are a lot of “sport” models these days. And depending on the brand, it can mean many different things. Sometimes it’s just an appearance package, and sometimes there are significant performance and handling upgrades. The G80 sport is definitely closer to the latter. To start with, it gets the excellent 3.3 liter twin turbo as the only engine choice. Period. That power plant churns out 365 horsepower, and 376 lb/ft of torque. In our driving of the G80 sport, it provided more than enough thrust, and you always knew
there was serious power lurking under the go pedal. In its standard configuration, the 8 speed automatic transmission sends all that power to the rear wheels, but drivers in our area (the northeast) will likely opt for the allwheel drive version. It has active torque control, which is able to send up to 40 percent of the available torque to the front wheels in a situation where it’s necessary, or it will send up to 90 percent to the rear wheels when in sport mode. And when you do select the sport mode, it becomes more of a beast, with a firmer ride, and a more responsive throttle mapping. At 4519 lbs, the G80 sport is solid, and it feels it. And that type of weight helps in luxury, more than in sport. Fuel economy is a bit below its rivals at 17/25 MPG, but still pretty close to segment averages. For the first ten months, Genesis has sold over 15,000 vehicles. Some have moved up (over) from the Hyundai Genesis, but after that, Genesis gets more of its buyers from
Lexus than any other brand. The G80 is a solid reason for that. Excellent design, loaded with features, and priced just north of a loaded Avalon, it makes a compelling argument for driving a true luxury car. With a ten-year powertrain warranty, it removes one of the biggest obstacles in moving up to the luxury category, which has always been cost of maintenance. The G80 Sport continues that formula, but dials up the performance and aesthetic appeal a couple of notches. If you can afford the premium (price and fuel), the Sport is a significant upgrade to a classleading vehicle. If the answer is no on either count, we recommend the regular G80 sedan which is a standout in the luxury car class.•
The Genesis G80 Sport and all Genesis models available at Genesis of Newport, 1133 West Main Road in Middletown, Rhode Island.
Interior: Changes and additions to the interior include driver and front passenger sport seats that are heated and ventilated, and include added torso and thigh bolstering. The seats also feature nicely detailed “contrast stitching” and perforated seating surfaces that allow for proper ventilation. Additional the G80 Sport adds a thicker, “sportier” steering wheel , carbon fiber trim on the dashboard and inside doors; a suede headliner, aluminum sport pedals and a copper Genesis clock. When it comes to the information/communication stack, the G80 sport has about everything you need. A 9.2 inch touchscreen with 720 resolution, which is the first in this segment). It also comes with Siri Eyes Free and Google Point of interest voice search. It’s also noteworthy that the sport comes with Apple Car Play and Android Auto. That’s noteworthy because the G80 with the Ultimate package does not. It also comes with wireless smartphone charging pad, if you’re into that sort of thing. And with voice control for the millennials, and knobs and buttons for the traditionalists it seems like Genesis has got all ages brackets covered.
Exterior: The exterior changes of the G80 sport give it a more sinister look. It starts with a dark chrome front grille with a “cross hatch” design, new LED headlights, a honeycomb lower front air dam and fully functional side air intakes that improve aerodynamics. Also included are dual split spoke 19inch dark alloy wheels. A lower rocker panel has been added, along with
