As I continue to do my research, while waiting for my local dealership to get a Blue JLU Rubicon, I came across many discussions about the 3.6 engine vs the 2.0T. There are also some discussion about turbo lag and there were feedbacks from the community comparing their turbo lag experience on the Subaru.
Personally, I have owned number of cars in my life, I had a 2000 Jeep WJ for about 6yrs which I took off road back then (Reason I want to get back to a real Jeep this time), then I had a 2006 STi for 5 yrs traded it for a used 2007 Porsche 997 C4S Cab. I then again traded it in for a BMW 235i XDrive Cab 1.5yrs ago. The BMW is nice & fast, but I think it's too refined for my taste, and doesn't excite me anymore like the other cars.
Comparing the 3 engines, the is laggy and need a sec to spoolup the Turbo. However, the raw surge of TQ pull hard, pure fun.
Here is the Mustang Dyno chart (I went in for a ProTune)
The Porsche engine is NA, so nice a smooth as the RPM climbs, the engine sounds great. Shift the MT down to 4000RPM, then it pull away all the way to 7K.
The BMW, well, TQ is available instantly with almost any RPM with 0 lag. The 9 speed AT is so much faster than my 2 MT when it comes to speed. (my lag of MT skill =P), but I think it's because everything is designed so perfect that I am not excited in just 1.5yrs.
I plug in some engine specs onto excel for the Jeep 3.6L & 2.0T, then the M235i. For the Jeep info, I found them on:
2.0T

Here is the Combined comparison excel chart, and I hope it's useful for the Jeep community.
