Is the VW I5 really related to the old Audi I5? That sounds a little far-fetched (or at the very least, tenuous).

Still, the new Rabbits look fairly nice to drive, although I'm not sure I'd be able to justify the extra expense over a Cobalt (well, it'd be easier for the Rabbit than the Jetta) - but I'm probably biased because I work around the things.
