I especially liked this comment:

This thing is incredibly cheap for the amount of car you get. Its competitors in the same price range offer 100 less hp. You get a car that can go from 0-60 in the 4 second range for less than 50 grand. 4 second range was once reserved for the likes of Ferrari. You'd be a fool not to buy this car if it's the type of car that you want.

Does the R Spec really have 4 piston calipers "all around"? Thought only 4 up front.

No, it doesn't.

Front: Power-assisted 13.6-in diameter ventilated disc, four piston
Rear: Power-assisted 12.4-in diameter solid disc

All Genesis models have this setup in 2012... except the 3.8 has 13.0-in in the front instead of 13.6

So if the reporter cannot even read the specification sheet, how can we trust HIS opinions?
Dollar for dollar- a steal with plenty of extra gas $$ for years of driving.
