I like when we have a choice to pick turbo or N/A. Kind of sad that everyone you buy now will have to be downsized with two turbos. unless you buy American.

I'll second this. It's not that some of us mind so much the move to turbo, but it would be nice to at least have a choice if you didn't want one. Excluding diesels, here in America it seems like BMW is only giving us two choices in their entire lineup (almost) -- a 2l or 3l turbo. They've already developed the GTS engine -- put the damn thing in something.
I think America's biggest problem right now, from the perspective of the enthusiast, is that they won't make a nice small/lightweight RWD car. The Camaro and Mustang are behemoths compared to something like a Cayman, and the Vette isn't much better. It just seems like all the domestics like making really powerful engines, then need to make the cars relatively big so it doesn't overwhelm the chassis.
