I drive a slug everyday - that being a 1999 9-5 I4 (170hp) at over 5k altitude and in heat with AC running it's an utter dog, 0 - 60 probably over 9 secs and lots and lots of cars do better than that. I remember being smoked by a Corolla S a while back.
It did give me close to 37 mpg on a recent 400 mile trip, according to the SID.
but 8.8 secs for a modern upscale auto is not impressive.
