While certain design decisions can seem like no-brainers in hindsight, it’s rare that they are adopted as the future (and the blueprint for upcoming models) from the moment they first arrive.Turbocharged engines are a clear example of this, as they took a good few decades to be adopted as the go-to for most manufacturers around the globe. This didn’t stop them cropping up in a wide range of cars though, and General Motors was burned by this approach in the early 2010s.
