AND if they indeed had a five cylinder available, then
a guy, or gal, could install other engines with the
five cylinder bolt pattern.  How about a twin turbo
Audi V6 Tdi? Or an Allroad twin turbo V6 gasser? How
about a twin turbo V10 Tdi from the now discontinued
Toureg Tdi? 550 ft/lbs of torque would move it down
the road. Do the pump-duse Tdi's have the 5 cylinder
bolt pattern? Sky's the limit.
