So, I finally found a review that's not the most stellar. OTOH, I am honestly not sure what the heck car she drove.

I found the transmission and car interior to definitely be rather quiet. Heck, there's tons of in-cabin test drive videos that prove it. It accelerated very well from any speed I managed to test it at, including up hills. I also experienced no lag, and, as others have said, it didn't even feel like a turbo. It felt like a nicely powered 6 cylinder.
And... V6? There's never been a V6 in a Subaru - and it's more powerful in every metric than the outgoing H6 3.6L.

REGARDLESS:
Has anyone else had a different experience? Was it the car they were driving? Perhaps I missed something?

Wow... it was neither loud, nor unrefined. My only complaint was that they made the automatic "gear changes" more subtle than the Outback's. You can feel the fake shifts, but they're luxury car like in subtly."The sole transmission is a continuously variable automatic. Its drone is loud and unrefined, and it takes a while to spool up power. A V-6 and any other transmission are unavailable."
