Default Maybe a turbo

My buddy was asking the dealer ship about a turbo for his scion xb. Beacause he was one of the first people to get it in riverside county when they first came out. The guy at the dealership told him, "why doesn't he wait to next year because this xb will have a turbo." Thats what it might have in this next release series.

A dealer that told someone to come back next year??? That is a little hard to believe.

So what if it's BS, it got the dealer a year's worth of attention.
