Audi's 5 cylinder is history, now everyone else has one!

[RELAYER@aol.com]

I was just scanning my new European Car mag....and there's an article on the
Fiat Coupe designed by Pininfarina and it has this lovely 220 hp turbocharged
5 cylingder 20V engine.  So, after Audi pioneered the 20V 5 cylinder turbo
engine in the 80's (S1), everyone has one of these engines latley!  Well,
here's my account of all other car makers' 5 cylinders since Audi's use (thus
copying the idea):

MB 2.5 tubro deisel used in the E class in the 80's
Acura's 2.5 in the Vigor
Volvo's 20V turbo 5 cylinder
now....Fiat's 20V turbo 5 cylinder
5 cylinders are now the cool thing to have!

Audi started a trend, and now they have ended all productioin of their odd
numbered engines...I shall miss them, I can rember a time in the mid 80's of
me trying to convince a local DMV worker that a 5 cylinder engine DOES exist,
and is the engine that is in my car that I was trying to get a tag for!!!!

Farwell Kick ass 20V turbo 5 cylinder, you have left your mark on the
automotive field!!
