Supercharged or Turbocharged Solstice?

Which should the performance version be? Im kinda leaning towards a turbo bc that it is easier to pump out more horsepower, plus are more customizable IMO. What do you think?

Turbo. As you said, they're generally easier to get big performance out of.

But for some reason domestic cars are supercharged only most of the time.

No idea why.

It should be turbocharged much like I hope the G6 will be turbocharged. There is a perception about turbochargers being better than superchargers even though turbos have their advantages and disadvantages. It may help them sell more cars even if the horsepower output is is the same.
