People would rather the feel of a lazy torquey engine than a high-revving race engine. People who are convinced a 335i has more torque then an ///M because they have no idea how to shift gears or what power to the wheels means.
Unfortunately, the idiots rule out over the enthusiasts.

both are pretty spot on the money. but to be fair, how can most people understand those graphs when so many people in this country stop at Algebra 2 or have never taken physics? im sure most CA's dont even know what a torque graph is let alone what torgue is.
oh well, what can you do? too many of
those kind of people around.
