"this Lexus is always downshifting (5 speed auto) trying to muster up enough guts to move it. At 230 horsepower, I think 50 of them have asthma and tire out. "
This is also because of the power-to-weight ratio of the vehicle (in addition to not having max torque at low rpms like turbos do). 50 of the horsepower are pulling around weight that sedans and wagons don't have. I wrote about this in an article at the link below...
