It had more torque of course, but torque like an agricultural vehicle, not a sports car.

From quickly looking up the 2 on reviews, the 10th gen was about a second slower to 60 than the 9th gen. No wonder it feels slower. The 2.4 has more torque down low but when you're wringing it out that doesn't matter if you still make the same power up top, and weigh 300lbs more. I'm sure it feels quicker around town accelerating in the lower rev range, but that's probably it.
