It's really kinda odd that GM didn't try so much to make the turbocharging more mainstream when it had a chance. Nowadays with more advanced engine management systems, it's easier to overcome the turbo-lag, so even Mercedes-Benz is getting rid of the Kompressor in favor of the turbo...

Id buy a KEI truck if the Feds would really let me.

Kei trucks are nice too, and in spite of their tiny size they're pretty capable. Well, their size make them a nice base for a trail rig because they have a great maneuverability even in tight spaces...
