Near enough all turbo charged cars including diesels!

Name one _car_ (as opposed to a boat) that uses a water-air intercooler.
Intercoolers are reasonably common (although by no means "near enough
all") but they're air-air intercoolers, not water-air.

If you fit a water-air intercooler to a car, you'd just have to enlarge
the radiator to dump the heat out that way. Space is tight under a
bonnet, so they use air-air instead.

The question here was radiator vs. exhaust, not radiator vs. exhaust vs.
separate intercooler.
