Which of the following long-running Buick models NEVER offered a factory turbocharged engine?

Kinja'd!!!

A. Skyhawk (1984-87)

B. Skylark (NEVER!)

Kinja'd!!!

C. Century (1978-80)

Kinja'd!!!

D. Regal (1978-87, 2011-date)

Kinja'd!!!

E. LeSabre (1978-79)

Kinja'd!!!

F. Riviera (1979-85)

Even though the Skylark name was around for 36 model years, right through Buick’s turbocharged (and supercharged) era, and even though its platform mate, the 1962 Olds F-85 Cutlass Jetfire, got a turbo’d version of the Skylark’s own aluminum V8, no Skylark ever saw a turbo available under its hood.

Congratulations to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! for coming up with the right answer first.
