Furthermore: Why do aussies then keep buying big inefficeint Holden/Ford 6's and 8's when a Turboed 4, 5 or smaller 6 can produce superior performance and petrol consumption?

Maybe we're just all stupid?

LiFe.

Ever try to insure a turbo?

Plus you'll probably find that a constant boosting turbo sucks up more juice than the modern V8 does. It has to get power from someplace. I wouldn't exactly call the holden/ford v6/v8 inefficeint these days either.

Plus some people just like the instant/low down torque that a V8 gives.

At least ford are in the good current direction here with their turbo DOHC V6's. I'm sure that is what is needed to have turbo's more "accepted" in this country. Hopefully insurance companies will also change their tunes in the future.
