....I suppose that you could apply that term to a 9-3, if you stomp on the pedal in 5th gear at 30 mph. Takes awhile for something to happen.
Which is just the sort of boneheaded "test" I'd expect them to do in order to describe the car as "sluggish". To be fair, I don't know what context they use the term (perhaps you can pass it along). But insisting that the car has to be driven the same way as you would for some Japanese V-6, and give it lower marks if it doesn't respond the same way, is ludicrous.
