But in the perfect world, a CVT lets you accelerate while constantly at the engine's torque peak, so they should accelerate more quickly than non CVT..

funny how you say that. I think lot of reviews about the car are from ppl that dont know how to drive CVT's or they had never experianced it. They are all saying how its slow and slugginsh. Honestly i havent felt that.
Funny story, even my dad test drove a CVT for the first time and he is flooring it trying to go thru all the gears. So i just told him he is just wasting my gas, bc there is only one gear ;)
