They did mention that they wanted the punch to hit as low and as immediate as possible, but I don't think that they inteded a random 20 lb-ft drop from 3300-4600 rpm on an otherwise flat torque curve (for an NA 2.0-liter four-cylinder).
Yes I agree something like a 5-10 ft-lb drop would seem more reasonable. And the car tested in the C&D review, as may the torque curve car, may only have been an early prototype.

I did notice the car had a very responsive throttle!


I was just wondering if other new owners or those able to get extended test drives like ichitaka05 would be able to share their experience?
