My daughter purchased a 2001 VW Jetta today and the engine is something I had not seen before. It is (so the salesman said) a 6 cylinder with the cylinders offset only 15 degrees and all under a common head. It was made to fit the same space as the four cylinder. My first thought on seeing it was "hey, why aren't there any of these in an airplane"? My second thought was " what the hell does my daughter need with a car with 160 mph on the speedometer" !!!!!!!!!
