I'm sure it feels quicker around town accelerating in the lower rev range, but that's probably it.

This is exactly what I'm referencing. It doesn't look like the FA24 is going to enjoy being up towards the 7K range, but it definitely resolved the torque issues. I like revving it out so the torque dip wasn't a huge issue in daily driving but after focusing on my cornering there are lots of times where it becomes a choice between landing in the the dip or a shift mid-corner.
I wasn't making a direct comparison to the 2.4L out of the 10G XRS, just noting that the two BRZ generations have followed a similar engine pattern. The FA20 and the FA20DIT landing in the BRZ and then quickly the WRX means they saw more performance oriented design aspects like the high redline and in Toyota's case the focus on extracting all the NA performance regulations and engineering margin would allow them. Then the next generation we get an NA version of a turbo SUV engine with a more hands-off approach from Toyota. I'm worried it's going to drive like one. With the announcement their model is getting pushed back I'm definitely not buying first year.
