[QUOTE="Voltwings, post: 16338575, member: 155561"] I'll be honest, I think you're being a bit narrow minded because you're not getting the answer you wanted. Take a step back and look at your list: Chevy Traverse: V6 and 2.0T are both options I don't think Dodge makes a 2.0T, outside whatever it is they put in the Wrangler Honda only makes a 1.5L turbo outside of the 2.0 in the Type R, but all Acura SUVs use that 2.0L turbo. Toyota / Lexus don't make a 4 cylinder turbo worth a damn. The 2.0 turbo in the Atlas is the base engine, but that same engine (with just a higher tune) is also the base engine in every Audi SUV. Nissan really doesn't make a 2.0T worth a damn. Most of your examples are Japanese, I encourage you to look German if you have doubts about the application of a turbo 4. The V6s are the limiting factor here, and marketing people are not stupid. They know there is this misunderstood fact that somehow a turbo 4 is inferior to an NA6, so they make the 2.0T the base engine and make the V6 the premium offering. It would not be hard at all to make the 2.0T surpass the V6's power ratings, but people would 100% turn their nose up at a smaller engine being the more premium offering. Just look at the uproar getting rid of the 6.2 in the Raptor made even though the new V6 absolutely destroys that old engine in terms of performance. I'll ask you again, a very simple question: Look at a dyno graph of the low end torque a turbo 4 can make vs an NA6 and tell me why we're even having this conversation? [/QUOTE]
