If car companies are trying their asses off advertising and trying to sell their cars, why are car companies going 'turbo 4cyl' trend?

I mean 4cyl means under powered already. Already people know that 4cyl is the basic cylinder config in slower econoboxes. And people love 6cyl too.

Sure, you want more "mpgs" but you could engineer the car to give out more mpgs.

Why the fuck are companies going turbo 4cyl?

This XC90 on start-up sounds like a lawn mover while the older XC90 sounded a bit more rough.

A CX9 is worthy of a V6 but it has a goddamn underpowered 4cyl.

emissions regulations

lower displacement saves gas and produces less emissions. So to compensate, makers use turbos that kick in at high RPM's to compensate for the low power of low displacement engines

see 2015 honda civic vs 2016 honda civic

People should know better already, that even 4 cylinder engine can be powerful enough.

Like that XC90 T8 it has 2l engine with 320hp. It does 0-62mph 5.6 seconds.
In what world that is underpowered?

You don't have to look too much in to the history to find v8 engines that are over double the size and have even less power, not to mention the 0-62 time.

But I agree about the engine sound. 4 cylinder engine does not sound good.

ehh, the T8 has like 400 hp from a hybrid system. And besides, its an XC90, they way they are driven they are never gonna need more than a turbo'd 4 pot anyway

They are doing this. The 4cyl turbo IS the engineering.
