I know, and I am making fun of them reintroducing Turbo chargers 30+ years after European and Japanese cars made them commonplace.

Heck, in the '60s the Corvair had one. There were a number of weak U.S. automaker attempts in the 70s and early 80s as well during the gas shortage.

I find it amusing that after years of whining about Cafe standards rather than doing something, now that at least for these 4 years, the direction is clear, they try an lightly embrace turbo technology.

Oh, and don't forget the $3000 incremental cost for a turbo 6 vs. a V8...
