"it's an inline 6 with the cylinder splay only 15 degrees"

So it's a V6 with a splay of only 15 degrees thus making it almost an inline engine you mean? :P. As far as VR6s go, oh man do I love them. They sound sooo good with an intake and an exhaust on them, and they DO move. As far as putting them into a RWD car, I think the Passats up until now had a longitudinal engine layout, unlike most other FWD cars. In the mid-nineties the Passat was offered with the VR6, I wonder if that would help at all, or maybe not because it's still FWD... But it's longitudinal, I think, for what it's worth... =D
