"Love that (Pontiac) boost"?

While watching some NCAA men's basketball tournament games this past weekend, I saw several Pontiac commercials playing up the fact that the car has "boost" which makes for fun acceleration and driving. The driver keeps making comments like, "How do you activate that boost feature?", "Yeah man, there it is", and "I LOVE that boost thing!" (I almost choked on my chips and salsa :-)
I don't even remember if it was an ad for the Gran Prix or the Grand Am, but I wasn't aware that either of those cars has a turbo or supercharger. What the heck were they talking about? And why hasn't Saab capitalized on fun-factor of their turbo? Don't get me wrong, I like the new 9-3 and 9- ads I have seen in the last few weeks, but it just galled me to hear that Pontiac commercial, knowing that they are trying to associate "boost" with Pontiacs...
