Grow up......... The hyperbole over this issue makes no sense, whatsoever. One guy says he loses 100hp in the cold weather, but needs a stopwatch to prove it out. Somehow, I would not need a stopwatch to figure out there was a 100hp issue with my GTR.
The turbo 2.5 has been out for over a year in the CX-5 and longer in the CX-9. If this were a real issue, there would be a revolution from owners by now.
I jump on the freeway every morning and have had my GTR since last February. I have never had an acceleration issue when merging spiritedly into traffic. I don't plan to be drag racing any CRV's or RAV-4's anytime soon, so I'll take the calmer approach. For me, if there's a power reduction while the engine is still well below operating temp, I would consider that a design feature to avoid premature engine wear and tear. Not the world ending crisis that I'm reading about here.

For goodness' sake.
-If the guy said "It seems as though..." he'd get beat up for a lack of empirical data.
-The guy gets empirical data and he gets beat up because he actually used a standard measuring device.
What the heck do you want..."One Mississippi, Two Mississippi..."?
