I like the look...
If I cared about driving a popular "pretty" car, I'd still be driving a Honda Civic. Except that the turbo boost involved turning off the a/c... 
Now to the other quote.
kdugg, you say you had a turbo Civic, and you had to turn the a/c off to boost.
Was that a factory turbo? Seems like it would`ve been sized to allow boosting at all-times.
I only ask, because I have a Turbo Caravan, but the a/c never worked since I got it , so I`ve never had that problem. Pushing 12psi now, with 273,000mi..
I`m waiting for a Turbo HHR.

Do you know my friend Gary Donovan? He is a Mopar turbo junkie! He adds turbos to Caravans and races the darn things!
If not, give his site a looksie. He is a fountain of Mopar knowledge.

We nicknamed it "The Slug" because going uphill or pulling in front of folks you had to turn off the A/C to get any kind of acceleration, so we referred to the A/C button as the turbo button...Sorry for the confusion.

That`s the TURBONIUM. The HHR IS my wifes ride.
That's like having Brock Yates do a computer review. Those geeks should stick to what they "think" they understand.
