Wrong. Old Sivir is much easier to escape from (or to chase down). She can Q + W attack + 1 normal attack for the passive and that's it. Many champions can still out run her when her ult is off CD (or put a slow field down to stop her). New W brings maximum 4 more seconds that she can keep that passive, and landing a second W enhanced AA is much much easier than landing a normal AA (in case of old Sivir) due to extra attack speed. New ult also gives much higher initial move speed, while having no cast time.

It's not about laning (Sivir was always decent at laning phase). It's about extra mobility & AoE damage in team fight, which for someone with short range like her means so much. Old Sivir is a great pusher that always felt lackluster in team fight (AS bonus to allies is most of the time wasted). New Sivir pushes arguably better (more accessible steroid) and has more team fight presence as well.
