While I agree with the first half of your statement, the 1.8T is the 
most reliable engine that VWAG has produced. I don't have the 
statistics, but this engine is amazing. It's a newer engine than the 
VR6, so it is very impressive.


That brings me to your first statement. While there's no replacement 
for displacement, I'd take a newer, more technologically advanced 
engine over an older higher displacement engine... When you compare 
apples to apples, you'd be comparing the displacement of two 
technologically similar engines.

Only then does the equation (or statement) re: replacement for 
displacement really begin to ring true.

That having been said, I think that's why the 1.8T can be tuned to 
put out outrageous amounts of power that are difficult to achieve in 
the VR6, but that's just what I've read.
