When I first got my GT350, I heard endless comments on "there is nobody home under 3K RPM". After owning one for a year, I thought that comment was blown out of proportion. As it still had plenty of grunt under 3K RPM.

I wish I can say the same about the X3M. With everything in Sport Plus, you are literally driving a Corolla. That is under 3K RPM, until boost kicks in. If I step on it from a dead stop I can literally count "3 Mississippi" until boost kicks in.

I hope they fix this with the G80.
