It was a Buick Regal T-Type. Precursor to the GN and in all respects, pretty much the same car, but a bit cheaper on the resale market. Also shares a chassis with the Chevy Monte Carlo.

And the GM auto group consists of: Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, Oldsmobile (no more), Cadillac, Saab, Hummer, Pontiac, Saturn, and Holden (in the Australian market)

Ford nearly shunned turbo technology in America the early and mid 80's. Chevrolet had established the T-Type platform, plus the Turbo Firebirds, and Turbo Dodges were already the precursor to modern sport compact cars. Ford finally released in 1986 their own turbo car in the SVO Mustang, a 2.3L 4cylinder with a T3 turbo.

And that's your history lesson for the day.

It also had a badass motor in it.
