However, I would've thought that the A330-200 would've stopped short of its longer sisters position so as not to strike ground equipment/airbridges etc with its engines since they are closer to the nose than the others.
So I've just shotdown my own suggestion.
But it sure beats CO Freak's input on the subject

I looked up A200, and apparently there really is (or was) an A200 built by Airbus...or so several articles (and a few pics) suggest. I don't know why this aircraft doesn't seem to exist in the real world, unless they re-designated it. Come to think of it, the pic of it I saw looked very much like an A319.
