I wonder what's causing the turbo / throttle weirdness. It's too consistent among newer cars and across manufacturers to be a single stroke of incompetence / not giving a damn.

It must be an emissions thing. Like maybe they want to prevent that thing from spooling until they're damn sure that you want it, and that way they can eke out just a bit more mpg for the window sticker.

Maybe that'll be the next car modding movement: tuning that out, along with fixing rev hang for manuals: MERA: Make Experience of driving Reasonably fun Again. Not very catchy. We'll work on that.
