Hardly. You'd have to add so many qualifiers to that, it's not even worth it.

Trailblazer SS: 5.7 sec
Subaru Forester XT (old turbo): 5.3 sec
Toureg 2 (V8): 5.7 sec
Audi Q7 (V8): 5.8 sec
BMW X5 (V8): 5.7 sec
BMW X6 (V8): 5.3 sec
Infiniti FX45: 5.5 sec
Infiniti EX35 AWD: 5.6 sec
Cayenne GTS: 5.7 sec
Cayenne Turbo: 4.9 sec
Mercedes G55: 5.5 sec
Mercedes ML550: 5.6 sec
Mercedes ML63: 4.7 sec
Jeep Grand Cherokee (Hemi): 5.7 sec
Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8: 4.7 sec
Lamborghini LM02: 4.5 sec

Most of the above are V8's, but the Territory has a turbo on its i6--and is tuned for that matter. Even so, the Infiniti EX35 has a V6 and beats it without forced induction. Even the old Forester is faster with the 2.5L turbo flat 4 cylinder in its light chassis. And let's not forget the hometown hero: the GMC Typhoon, which used its turbo 6 to get to 60mph in under 5 seconds almost 2 decades ago. Maybe this is supposed to be about top speed, but even then, the only way that would happen is if somehow all of the above vehicles used German-style 150mph limiters, which seems rather unlikely.
