[s-cars] I think its a V5 actually, hard to believe but seemingly true

Well the I5 is coming back in the new Jetta.  I've done very little
reading on the subject because the car looks fairly ugly.  I understand
though that it's half a V10 lambo? (could be conjecture)  Replacing the
old 2.0-liter engine is a 2.5-liter inline five-cylinder developed
specifically for North America. The base engine, which finally features
four valves per cylinder and dual-overhead cams, makes 150 hp at 5000
rpm and 170 lb-ft of torque at 3750 rpm. The 2.5-liter will be the only
engine available when the Jetta goes on sale in March.

According to Autoweek its a V5, very strange to imagine, but the accompanying pic shows the valve cover clearly saying "V5".
