The site doesn't know the number of gears the R-spec has? It's comparing an AWD with a rear drive? I own a 4.6 and am all for positive Genesis comparo's but this one needs to be taken with a huge grain of salt imo.

The proper 5 series to compare to is the 550i.

The 550i has more torque (400 ft lbs) and is a better balanced vehicle that is pretty even in terms of interior.

The 5501 is also $70K and maintenance is outrageous.

Maybe. Carsort.com is just a "home office" company with a couple of people, who threw up a website. They don't make any money (although they claim they will get some pocket change from website referrals) and don't have any professional staff. I don't understand why people take these non-professional website reviews (and YouTube videos) seriously. It would not surprise me at all if they are teenagers.

It's not a review. It's trying to do what Metacritic or Rottentomatoes does, and aggregate data from other reviews. That explains why they they make asinine comments like noting the R-Spec has more speakers instead of commenting on which stereo sounds better, why they have no performance data, and why the BMW's price is listed as "starting from" rather than "as-tested price."

As much as I like seeing good press on the R-Spec, this doesn't even count. This isn't a comparison at all.
