Why you think it's not correct?
Oh, I dunno, maybe these?

Car & Driver: 4.9 sec (Nov. '08 )
Car & Driver: 4.6 sec (7AT, Apr. '09)
Car & Driver: 4.9 sec (Apr. '09)
Motor Trend: 4.7 sec (Nov. '08 )
Motor Trend: 4.9 sec (Apr. '11)
Motor Trend: 4.8 sec (Aug. '12)

That's not to say that all tests resulted in sub-5 second runs; the auto rags that are usually slower (Edmunds, Autoweek) posted around 5.1 sec times. Still, choosing the slowest of these is a bit disingenuous.

Averaging these times above along with a few others (sans the 4.6 sec 7AT) results in a composite of 4.9 seconds.
