What I really want to know, is why Volkswagen went to the trouble of creating a normally aspirated 2.5 5-cylinder 20V engine based on half of the Gallardo's 5.0 V10 40V engine, when they could just have fitted their own well-proven 1.8 Turbo 4-Cylinder 20V engine?

Hmm...why?
I think, generally speaking, in the US bigger engine displacement = better perception of the car. Correct me if I'm wrong.
