I think it is more that 86 drivers are caught off guard when some v6 Camry takes off out of nowhere at an increased speed, like the Camry driver has forethought of I'm going to gun it and overtake this twin, and twin driver can only react by the time the Camry has all its speed gathered up. Making it appear that the Camry is just a drag monster but in reality the Camry thought about it and started revving it up well before the twin driver even noticed, and by the time they notice they just see this howling Camry fly by.The thing is v6 Camry drivers like to justify their car by overtaking lower power sports cars, but only when they sneak up on them and use their sleeper status so surprise and pass, because who expects a Camry to explode with that kind of speed.
In fact it is the same thing with the Model 3, they drive slow as balls 90% of the time, but when they go fast, it takes everyone off guard.
(all in a straight line of course)

No. This is lame. You floor it in first gear and you'll beat 90% of drivers in 90% of vehicles on the road today in almost every situation. I guarantee the driver of the Camry always floors it because they are sick of being behind shit for brains that drive 10 below the speed limit everywhere and just want to get going. They don't even notice any other car. My mother is like this. Normal people just don't care and aren't concerned and are fine going slow as crap no matter what.

Are you sure? Or are those just options? The Dodge model and option list is totally insane, and must be a relic from the 50's. It seems to be made so absolutely no one can understand it, so a car salesperson can always make sure the buyer feels they are getting a good dead.

They're bland pigs, void of any steering feel or excitement. Yeah the new corolla is a huge step up from the previous gen, but feel and engagement is way behind Honda.

Nope. The Yaris when it came out was popular in autocross and scca, and has actually won in both. Mine was fun, and after changing out the suspension it was a total blast. You are thinking of honda from the early 90's, which has zero relevance to today. Honda doesn't care anymore.
