You're right. Makes sense. Guess I just was shocked by the Sequoia's 4.7L 240hp low end response even being so heavy, and then comparing that to me having to rev mine A6V6 to 4000rpm to get a similar feel. Have taken to heart and put into practice your advice of driving in Sport mode and just revving it more---so far so good. Getting good mpg still, and drving it more agressively is sweet on this car.
