They are all turbos in the US from 82 on. And calling a sedan a 300TD because it is a turbo diesel is just out right wrong and offensive the the true TD owners.  |
Agreed ... and on top of that, there are MANY threads archived here, where people were confused or gave incorrect advice because the OP was using an incorrect designation.
I am one of Jimmy's coverts. I too used to use the incorrect designations in an attempt to let everyone know I had a turbo. I now let my screen name stand as a reminder to myself of where I began and of Jimmy's "gentle" correction.
