I certainly don't hold it against Porsche or Mercedes for adding turbos to their cars.

They make anything more effecient. I wouldn't just slap one on every engine, but more should be designed with them IMO.
3800 isn't the best when noise/smoothness is concerned, the 2.0T ecotec makes 260HP, and could do even more then the flatline torque curve of 260lb/ft easily.
