Differences In GTU, GXL, and Turbo II

Hello all, i have a question. I am stuck between a GTU, Turbo II and a GXL. I dont know what is different between them. I know the Turbo II and the GTU were turbo, but whats the difference? did they have better interior? better turbo? more compression or something? or even better options? I hope someone can help me decide because i am hopefully buying a better car than my 88 SE this summer and i want it to be turbo. Thanks in advance.

gtu isn't turbo. it also depends on what year cars. this question has been answered billions of times. the TII is the best bang for the buck as long as you can find one. please do a search for more info

Thanks

Thank you for clearing that whole thing up, ive wondered that for awhile I am gonna get the Turbo II for sure. The way i see it is, why not pay a couple grand extra, its worth it in the long run right?

Thanks again
