@kb3dow I think you're probably noticing a trend here and I agree - my Honda Pilot could probably beat it light to light, but that's not what I was looking for. As far as your concern passing traffic, no problem at all, just drop it down a gear or two - but you will actually have to drive it (which I enjoy), just stomping on the gas at 60mph in 6th won't do much.

What I haven't seen in the thread was the other piece for me - practicality. First thing I did at the dealer was climb in back - I'm 6' and I fit, wouldn't ride back there for long, but it works. My kids love riding in back, I take it to Sam's Club, I can put my bike or snowboard in back. All of those were important to me using it as a DD in addition to the fun factor.
