Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Even though I’ve told you this you’ll still be amazed at the time that elapses between throttle input and forward motion from a standstill. It makes every busy roundabout a terrible thrill.

This trait has been replicated on the latest XC90s / other SPA platformed vehicles too - I presume those with Hybrid stuff are better (?). But 1-2 seconds delay and not knowing if the car will take off or not is my biggest bug with my wagon, it's frankly unsafe.
