leak proof bomb failure?

[Louis-Alain_Richard at computerhorizons.com]

Makes me wonder: 

Why, oh! why would a car company drop a marvellous 2.2L turbo engine that 
gets 35 mpg in a 3500 lbs car and still moves that car pretty fast?

Look at the current A6: (source 
http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/FEG2004_GasolineVehicles.pdf)

rated at 27 mpg (3.0L FWD) to 24 mpg (4.2 Quattro).

Is this progress?
