Sival:
If you are right on the CVT (it's poor programming by Chryco), then it is another example of lack of attention to detail. Reprogram the unit! How hard can that be? I don't think drag co-efficient has as much to do with lack of acceleration as much as it has to do with high speed highway performance. I will say this - a 2.4 l engine developing 172hp should be plenty of power to move this thing - but it feels like my 01 CR-V with it's feckless 2.0 litre 145 hp engine.
Now if that rumour was right and it's going to get a Pentastar V6
But most importantly - put in a bigger gas tank already!!!
