Typically, the US automotive market receives the short end of the stick on a lot of cool, international cars and engines. Think of things like the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution prior to the VIII iteration, or the R34-and-earlier Nissan Skyline GT-R. Of course, we can import these later on once they turn 25, but we never got to see them when they were new. Now, in a strange twist of fate, the US is being granted another year with Audi’s famed 2.5-liter turbocharged inline-five, while Europe is about to lose it.
