I know it CAN/HAS been done transversly, Volvo and Audi..
Ideally, I'd like to see an inline-5 and RWD on Acura's next iteration of the TSX
Oh and I'm linking this to the 1st gen TL forum

And V-5's do exist. I think Honda had one for their bikes.

The G25 motor is actually quite fun. It reminds me of a K24... with a proper exhaust setup and VTEC it would sound better too.
If you guys ever have the opportunity, drive a Vigor with a manual transmission, FUN car.

Thanks for the chuckle.
Note to self....next time Crazy Acura makes a suggestion, I will simply follow it.
