As praise goes, this is it.

Kelley Blue Book might agree, giving G80 its own 8.9 overall rating, with the sedan's driving dynamics earning an impressive 9.1 for "rear-drive layout and potent [311-horsepower, eight-speed] V6 or [5.0L, 420-horsepower, 383-lb.-ft.-torque-capable] V8 engine" options. And the praise hits keep on coming. Expert reviewers at Edmunds.com note G80's "quiet[ude] at highway speeds" as well as "excellent crash test scores" of five stars, making the road warrior a 2017 IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK+.
