Plus, many FWD econoboxes out-accelerate us as well. Everything from sporty hatches to mid-sized sedans, minivans, and pickups. It's just not very quick in today's world.

All that being said, I still wouldn't trade this for anything else currently on the market. The only things I would buy over this cost significantly more.
I agree mostly.

I'm curious though - what minivan out accellerates this car? I keep hearing that, but have yet to find one? Seriously, just curious - that would make a mean minivan lol.

My point is, in my opinion this car is slow in the sports car world. But its definitely not slow in regards to "normal cars" - 90% of sedans & trucks on the road would lose to this car in a straight line even. At least in my town, not sure about where you guys live .
