If you DON'T have a turbo, it'll be bought in auto form by losers and dumb girls (No offense to any women on here. You aren't who I'm speaking about.) and moms. We do that, and the aftermarket dies. This isn't the 80s kids. Turbos are commonplace. Do it.
I still just don't get the problem with those types of people buying this car? Please explain it to me because from what I see a "dumb girl", mom, or even the rice burners owning the same car as I do doesn't make it any better or worse.

And it having a turbo isn't going to stop someone from buying a car. Who in their right mind are going to look at a car, decide they want it and then say "wait, this thing is turbod? nvm not interested." WTF. I do want a turbo'd version but would prefer having a 200hp n/a than a 210hp turbo(genesis coupe). Unless than N/A has 150lb-ft, and the turbo has like 200+...then I'll take the torque.

And going back to people buying the car. Doesn't matter if everyone, their mom, and their grandma buys this car. Well, actually it does. The more people buy this car the greater chance Toyota makes more cars like it.

And if you're my friend and club members that know me they'll respect that and respect is much better than props.
