I am puzzled. Have you not, just bought a MY2009 185 bhp XC90?
My co-pilot on European trips (Mini Cooper driver), found no problems with lag.
Considering the weight, they move very swiftly.

All previous mention, to slow take up, refers to the earlier 163's.
Come, MY2005/6, there was no real problem with them. I had one and had no concern about lag.
You cannot compare a C30 with an XC90.
