Dealer in CT advertising Turbo-charged 2010

I just test drove a 2010 rx8 r3 which the dealership is advertising as turbo charged. The car is new and has no after market modifications, I checked the engine, could not see a turbo, however the salesman was adamant the car was turbocharged and they have in writing on the windshield in big letters, "Turbo." Is this possible???? I think they're looking to make a sucker out of someone and i'm tempted to notify Mazda USA.

Notify Mazda and tell the salesman he is a flipping idiot.

What would be your stated "Cause of Action for Which Relief May Be Granted" in your brief in support of your lawsuit after the dealer agreed to buy the car back and make the customer whole?

What I would do is buy it, and make them spend the money, R&D etc to turbo charge the damn thing.

Wasn't me, it was the Uniform Commercial Code and the way our justice system tends to operate that spoiled your fun.
