It's a very powerful and well-built car with great features for the price but because it's a Korean car people either expect it should be cheaper than  a Jap car or demand much more if it is priced the same. Then they spend the same amount to buy a Camry or Accord with old tech engine, shitty CKD quality, tacky plastic interior and less features. Those who can look beyond the brand are those who get to enjoy the power and quality of the Optima GT. In terms of RV there is very little difference in D-segment RV whether Jap or Korean and 2.4L engines may have worse RV than 2.0L.
