Five cylinder NB
 

I am likely the last one to learn this, but it appears the Jetta and NB
will have a standard 150 HP 5 cylinder engine next year and drop out the
turbo four.

I don't see how the NB can fit the 5 cylinder. But then again anything's
possible with VW's wisdom.

They made 3.2L V6 Beetles so I don't see why the V5 wouldn't fit.

Mostly right, asfaik the current rules allow 500cc 2 strike or 990cc 4
stroke, currently every manufacturer is running 990cc 4 stroke bikes.

Not here in the USA anyways. Got any pictures?

Sort of. VW had the VR5 in a few euro-spec A4 cars (Golf, Bora). It was a
2.3L unit (basically the 2.8 VR6 less one cylinder).

The 5 in the Jetta and NB is not a 'V'. it's an inline 5.

the only 3.2L VR6 NBs i've heard of were the Beetle RSi which was some sort
of concept but was never sold that I know of. VW had them running around at
driversfest 2000 in Anaheim back in the summer of '00.

Not to say it is the same size, but VW has had an inline 5 as way back as
1985 (?) in the Quantum and Quantum Syncro, sedan and wagon.
