Looks like VW has done it too. They have a VR6 -1.

If so they are inline. VW had had 5 cylinders for years, my Mom's 80's Quantum was a 5 cylinder. It could haul butt too.

Inline 5, half of a Lambo V10

In Europe they also got the VR5. VR6-1 cyl. As I recall they had about 150 HP.

GM did a V5 diesel years ago, luckily it never made it into production.

I don't know about those V's.. Now a radial 5 diesel would be something else!

The 2.5l in 2006+ VW's is indeed a inline 5cyl, but it's unrelated to the old Quantum/Audi 5cyl.

The "VR6 -1" is called (amazingly enough), the VR5! It's out of production now.
Here's a sound clip of one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rSn1KCdlxw&feature=related

That's sad that they have owned the car for 9! years and can't figure out that the car's engine is inline. It would only take a second to pop the hood.
