It's not no.
But it has less power than a VW Golf GTI.
MX5 gets away with it, it has history, motorsports background and - the roof comes off.
It's supposed to be 'engaging' and fun to drive, but when you read the Evo article the car is in fact less involving to drive than a FWD hot-hatch. That's not good, to the point where the car has pretty much failed to deliver on the one simple promise.
It's not going to be easy to turbocharge on the cheap, since it has very high compression and the engine packaging is tight, to say the least. There's already a company which has come up with a remote turbo setup, with the turbocharger underneath the car near the rear differential...

Disclaimer: The above is not to be taken to heart and is probably a joke, grow up you big girl.
