Just to follow up on a recent thread ... someone was speculating on the new
Jetta's 5-cyl. engine being an evolution of "our" I5. Turns out it IS an
inline 5, contrary to speculation about the existing VR5, and it IS
transversely mounted, contrary to (my) comments that it couldn't be. Turns
out the new platform is wider, with more room for a transverse 5, but it is
a new engine rather than a come-back of the old I5.
I'm sure details will become public soon, if anyone's interested.
Regards,
John
