I've heard bad things about small engines with turbos and DI but I don't know if it's really true.

Only reason is I don't know what my next car will be, when the time comes.

The only major difference between naturally aspirated and turbo engines when it comes to maintenance is that spark plugs have to be replaced more frequently, usually at 40K miles vs. 60K or higher for naturally aspirated engines. Oil changes should be more frequent too, but to be honest this could be said for all engines compared to whatever the OEM manual suggests.

my mistake and I’m wrong on the coolant for turbos. I am thinking of coolant for hybrid inverters, specifically the Toyota turbo hybrid models which is on my mind

Considering this is 1/4 the cost of a Range Rover Autobiography I would suggest thats a positive
some hilarious (if predictable) comments. 
i do agree the large curves on the ends of the dash in particular are a bit much. maybe they hired apple's ex designer. 
at a fraction of audi model's costs or your flagships, i doubt you will be impressed.
yes, couldn't move to any of that 'newfangled' stuff like most other brands have.
most people don't consider that car makers really don't care about resale and in fact most NEW CAR consumers don't think about it either.
and of course the current palisade and telluride have won endless awards and praise. compromises have to be made to reach cost targets, but hyundai/kia has done an amazing job in the past decade and it's why they now outsells honda for example by a wide margin.
don't forget the flux capacitor muffler and dilithium crystal replacements. 
Just think about the average consumer.....they don't know or care about any technical aspects so who cares it's fail wheel drive on an ancient failure prone engine and comically simple body stampings and materials. Maybe it's not a strut suspension this time, but that won't matter
