Explain the "5"

Does anybody know why the "5" was tacked on the Protege 5's? In otherwords, why isn't it just considered a wagon version of the Pro? Or why not a 4 or a 7? Just curious here.

Doors man. Count em'. We Canuckleheads know. The fifth door is how we remove our hockey equipment.

The next gen pro is supposed to be called the 3. It makes me wonder what the p5 will be called.

Heh, I didn't think that at all...I actually thought it was quite funny that I overlooked something so simple.
