I still dont think the states will get a turbo charged engine for less than $20k. Its just not feasible since itll drive up the cost of the car. Emissions standards whats killing cars. For them to make a turbo car pass emissions will push the cost of the car. Thats why I think they will cut corners in trying to keep the price down. If they can make a NA rwd car with atleast 200hp/200lbs torque, for about $20k, on a chassis that weights ~2700lbs, it still wouldnt be a bad deal.
