2.5
"This 5-cylinder spitfire of an engine is the latest innovation from the great minds at Volkswagen. OK, so we borrowed the cylinder head design from Lamborghini Gallardo's V10. We didn't think you'd mind. Add a multifunction trip computer and tons of options and you'll see the Jetta's all grown up. Sort of."

Wow and at 150 horse "she's a real fire cracker." I think a reference to the old Quantum Syncro (although I suppose it was a 4K motor) would be a better "barrowed from" quote rather than a limber-weanie Gallardo at those HP numbers... ;-)

i wasn't saying i was happy it had the motor or anything, i just didn't know. every manufacturer ditched the inline 5 except volvo so i was surprised.

thats really ****ty output though. the subaru 2.5 makes 170hp and 170ft-lbs of torque in a 4 cylinder.

Everything old is new again - lots of reuse within VAG
