Toyota has introduced a metered acceleration from dead stop so that the tires will not break traction (spin out). I say their settings are too conservative! When I'm shooting a gap in traffic I expect to go when I step on the gas!
Other models are also drive by wire and have similar complaints. Please complain to your dealer if you feel the same way.

Toyota released a TSB to reflash the ECM for the transmission. Just call the dealer and describe the issue. Reference TSB006-05
I had it done and it works great.
