I'd take the Merc too in this case, but I love that colour on the Beemer

Won't be long and you won't be able to buy a car without a turbocharger. Finally the manufacturers have realised the benefits and advantages of turbos. Looks like where in for a good time in the future.

Wait, what? How come they didn't add the HSV GTS 430 in there too cause the media leads us to believe it's at the same level as these cars lol bawahahaha

I think it's a shame! As good as turbos and to a lesser extent superchargers are, just knowing that there are no high-revving or big cubed naturally-aspirated engines out there is a shame.

I too prefer revving NA engines but for the daily grind its hard to beat the low down torque etc of a good turbo setup, TDi also then amplifies that.

With the GenF (And GenF 2) GTS, HSV has really built a world class sedan that CAN go head to head with what Europe has to offer...

I love how Ford gave the big proverbial "F-YOU" to the status quo and went ahead and built the Voodoo. What an exquisite power plant that is! I never thought Ford had it in them, especially in this day and age.
