All late model cars do this. The late shifting forces higher RPM's which cause the catelytic converter to heat up to full operational temperature faster. It will not be effective until that happens. The car will shift normal once the water temp reaches 130 degress F. Until then, DON'T rev past 2,500 and just tippy-toe and drive slow...let the oil wake up and circulate around....once the "cool" light on the dash goes off, the temp is 130 or great, then you can start to drive a little more aggressive.
