Minivan: Relatively flat torque curve + Automatic transmission + foot to the floor = relatively quick consistent 0-60 time.

BRZ: Torque dip + high RPM power + mostly manual transmissions + sometimes erratic clutch feel + sometimes newbish driver = sometimes inconstant acceleration, esp. if you drop into the torque dip.

I think these two statements explain most of the "BRZ is slower than a minivan" agenda.
