Default Anyone drive a '21 yet?

The '21 announcement stated "The 10-speed automatic transmission has also received revised shift logic to make it operate a little smoother than before."

Does this new tuning resolve the severe hesitation encountered in previous model years when you come to a quick stop and then try and accelerate again? This is my main complaint with the car.

I've received a fairly compelling trade-in offer on my 2018 LS from my dealer, but if the '21 still has the same acceleration issues, I'm not even going to talk to them about it.

What is the delta between the trade in offer and blue book rate?

I'm still waiting for my dealership to get one, as I want to figure out the same thing. I really don't think anything was truly fixed.

I'm going to test drive one tomorrow when I take my '18 in for service. I'll let you know...
