returnof the I-5

[calvink at fastermac.net]

Until last month, I was a VW parts guy  (now with Subaru, 
but that has nothing to do with the subject.)  As I 
understand it, the 2.0 L  4 is going away, and that new 2.5L
inline 5 is the new base motor in the A5 platform ( Golf & 
Jetta)  If I remember correctly, there was a writeup on the 
Jetta V on www.vwvortex maybe around early December 
that discussed some of the details of this engine.  Fives 
have had some other sucess since Audi abandoned them.  
Volvo, for a while, then more recently the Mercedes/ 
Freightliner/ Dodge Sprinter diesel is a 5, and just last
year, 
GM "discovered" an engine between a 4 and a 6 and put it 
in their Colorado / Canyon trucks.  OK, who did I miss?
