I do stand corrected on the FRS, though dropping a turbo on it probably isn't that hard.
However, I said Asian companies, not Japanese. Both Kia and Hyundai have dropped the V6 as an option on some of their cars in favor of a Turbo 4. And all of the American companies are doing it as much as they can, just so that they can meet EPA regs. Again, I understand why they are doing it, but to me it just seems like a waste to do it to the sports cars as well. Make a nice, zippy, high fuel economy car for the people that want to have their cake and eat it to, but give those of us who aren't necessarily worried about slightly lower MPG something to work with.
