Most manufacturers are now offering turbo engines, in their small 4 cylinder vehicles. Ford, GM, Chrysler as well as Hyundai and Kia.

Once you go turbo it's hard to go back to NA. I just got a GS 350 and although it has decent power, it's SO hard to get it out of it. You gotta smash the pedal, get the engine roaring, all the drama. With a good turbo you don't even downshift, you have full torque at 2k RPM.

the n55 is the best engine in the FI biz, but its still has a hint of lag. in that respect, which was my original post the RX V6 has it beat. You cannot really beat the NA in terms of on demand response. Torque distribution, medium to high band power FI FTW!!!!
