With the new 1.5 engine, it's a timing belt. VW states it's a lifetime belt, any one have realistic ides on how long this belt will last?

For the 1.4T, which is presumably the same belt, it is a lifetime belt with a suggested inspection at 150K miles and every 18.75K miles after that. They seem pretty confident in it at least.
