Well, I've been watching this one for a while, and it seems that Audi had the formula a long time ago, and everyone else is just now catching up. I've been perusing the ads for the new Volvo S40 T5, their performance version, and the specs are scarily similar to our beloved 200tq20v. For example, 0-60 in 6.5s, which is right on with what the 20v would do. 4 doors, of course, and it's 2.5 liter I5 makes 215 hp, close to the 2.3 liter I5 in the 20v making, what, 225 hp or so? AWD is standard on these sport sedans, as well as a manual tranny (auto is optional on the Volvo.) I'm sure more similarities exist.
Face it, guys, Audi was and is still ahead of its time.
