it says ATC uses a number of factors to calculate the gear that provides maximum efficency, including driving style, driving situation, condition of the road, and traffic conditions.

ATC recognizes your personal driving style from the positions and movements of the accelerator pedal, deceleration when braking, and lateral acceleration through curves. Four different shift characteristics - from comfort-oriented to performance-oriented - are available for selection by ATC.

The adaptive change could have caused what yuppie saw as a change from sluggish to "normal" IMHO.
