Implying that the new V6 is stupid fast. More than enough power for me.
Perhaps not "stupid fast" by today's scale, but decently quick nonetheless. Probably faster than what I'm driving.

People have said they don't like the "feel" of a turbo charged car. A long time ago I took a turbo powered Audi A4 for a drive. Didn't like it at all. Maybe it was just the Audi turbo I didn't like.
Turbocharged engines don't respond quite the same as NA engines. Though the matter of lag has been made less significant since your A4 experience, it's still there and can be encountered under certain conditions.

↑↑↑ . . . when you're trying to predict the performance of a car that you haven't driven, about all you can do is compare what you do know about it to a car whose performance is generally known.

Timing is everything . . . and sometimes ninja edits don't go unnoticed
