Our LR4 is technically as quick 0-60 as the Miata (6-7 seconds) which is slowish in 2020. But if you dare floor the LR4 (a very rare occurrence for me), it will move with enough authority to freak passengers out. Similarly, I can beat the Miata pretty hard on the street (and usually do), making it move pretty fast and faster than it really is.

I was driving home from an errand this afternoon behind an old-school Miata. It had a giant multipack of paper towels in the car and it filled up the whole back window (hot today so all convertible tops were up—including mine). That’s dedication to a platform.
