Everyone is making Saabs

GM is offering 4 cylinder turbos in nearly all of their cars these days--wonder where they got the idea that a 4 cylinder was acceptable in a premium car? So is BMW, a company renowned for their straight 6. Hell everyone is suddenly discovering turbo 4's--kind of chaps my a**. I agree, the Regal is a striking car--if it said "BMW" on it instead of "Buick" I could be fooled into thinking it's the new 3 series. If I'm looking for a sedan when my lease is up it'll be on my list of cars to drive--it ain't a Saab but it's pretty close spec-wise. Strange bed fellows indeed.
