Read about the Torque Converter component of an automatic transmission and you will understand quite clearly what is happening.

This is the main difference between an automatic and a manual or clutchless-manual gearbox. The latter have mechanical linkage between engine and drivetrain, whereas the former has a fluid linkage. Yes, the TC locks up at speed but anytime you are shifting gears it releases again.

Totally normal and characteristic of all automatic cars that have a torque converter. Same piece of hardware that allows you to creep in traffic without doing any shifting

no actually i have a journey auto... but i've always know that you gotta wait for your transmission to catch up with your revs when you mash the hell outta the gas when trying pass up cars on the highways... i learned that struggleing with 1.5 liter hondas lols but i can understand why your a little ticked off with the money we spend on these machines bro...

Yeah in my old G35 ther ewas no lag issue. I agree that I think it is th rev matching.

Like someont else said to eliminate the lag, floor it then "click" or double gas it.

I might not be comparing oranges to oranges... but Toyota had serious "lag" when you floor it. Such as an emergency situation, or just want some power.

My Honda Accord... man, I loved the shifting on it... Floor it, and the car instantly goes down gears without too much thinking... I hope the G isn't too bad... I always heard that Nissan's/Infiniti's have one of the smoother tranny's out there.
