Turbo engines have never been known to be frugal when you use the power but they do generate less emissions at government testing and that's what it's all about in Europe. In the US it seems to be more about mpg, hence the NA is still alive and rather well in high performance cars over here. It sucks but the majority of voters don't give rats ass about if a few lucky enthusiasts can't have their sweet sounding NA engines in their luxury toys.
