US road system calls for turbo in race cars, all street tuners love the 10 sec boost runs once in a while head to head with a worthy opponent when cruising on the highway.

We don't drift/race down twisty mountainous roads like the Japanese or Europeans where less weight and dynamic suspension are required. Like how there are always split markets to satisfy different sides of the globe, Turbo in North America and maybe Non-turbo everywhere else in the world. I highly doubt that, US always get the end of the stick, if turbo here in US, turbo will be everywhere. Like how European always get all the models thar are desired here like the A3 hatch, VW Sirocco, and all Type-Rs.

Not just for the bolded but for the entire post. It aggravates me how even our domestic brands held out on us until recently.
