I think the 1987-1989 3.8 turbo cars are the benchmark cars of the 1980's. Funny back then, the turbo 6 was a bit of counter culture idea in muscle car genre but with so many successful turbo cars after the GN- the ideology has shifted.

In my mind, the public perception of what it is like to own a turbo car shifted- largely in part to the refinement of the 3.8 SFI turbo cars. </div></div>

With the world's first Turbo car,the Olds Jetfire, nobody even knew what a Turbo was! Oldsmobile had to explain it in the brochures.
This was way before the Buick, its the Buick Turbo's grandaddy
