Factory Turbo? maybe?

I was reading an article on the new Mazda CX-7Article here



They decided to not use the 3.0 v6 and use the 2.3... with a turbo. I'm assuming this would be the same 2.3 they use for Mazda 3 and 6.

Do you think they may make a turbo version of the 3 in the future? or maybe an easy upgrade?

the CX7 is the same powertrain as the MS6 de-tuned to 244bhp.

The MS3 will probably be the same 240bhp turbocharged 2.3L from the CX7 without the AWD.

My vote is for a solid 250 bhp and AWD, but that won't happen =(
