And seeing how they tried to wring the car out to try to immediately get to the speed limit when merging (hence the complaints of the CVT drone being prevalent among US Consumers), that could be a contributing factor. But that's my hypothesis/thinking on the matter.
    Yep, they really step on it to get up to speed specially on the highways. Drivers here are a lot more relaxed when it comes to accelerating. Come to think of it, in most other countries I've been to, accelerating hard is the norm. Dito masyadong takbong pogi lahat, walang urgency at all.
