Just seeing the power dip continue to be in the line, when it can be tuned out, I think was the biggest negative slap I heard.
In general, I just get disappointment and waiting for an actual change IF there is another version.

Yes, the 2017 is not boosted. So what? Did they dream to get a factory turbo? Come on ...
They are just fooling their audience. They tested the new car via butt dyno and said they didn't see any difference. Car and driver did a correct test by measuring times. I provided the links. New car has a shorter final drive ratio and better engine output. It has definitely better acceleration in top gear by several seconds. Not a tenth of a second. Same holds for all the other gears (3rd gear 2013 vs. 2017, 4th gear 2013 vs. 2017, etc.)
