It depends what your priorities are. I don't have statistics to back this up, but just simply looking at inventory would give a good indication of the types of cars dealers stock to forecast the wants of consumers, and lightly optioned cars typically seem to have larger numbers of inventory than fully equipped ones.

In regards to overseas markets, from my understanding, quite a few of them have restrictions on engine size (I can speak for Asian markets specifically), and importing cars with larger motors incurs a hefty fee. So turbo 4's rule in those markets.
