Saw one at the VW dealer....this will be my next ride! Much better looking in person than the Cayenne IMHO.

 

so many suv's on the roads.....so many laws preventing me from destroying them one by one.

 

nothing against the touareahfzg or however its spelled...just getting tired of dodging land yachts that unexpectedly change lanes into you without signaling.

 

I saw a black Turbo Cayenne in Orlando Wednesday night. It had all the chrome trim around the windows, etc. and HUGE 20" wheels...
After seeing it in person, and in black, I love the Porsche...

 

I like it, but I wish it was lower and had 2-Doors.

I like the new ads in the car magazines.
If you haven’t seen them they show a Jetta stuck trying to cross a stream while the Touareg crosses safely through ONE AND A HALF FEET of water.

No bypass valve required for THAT sucker.

How much do those bad boys go for?

 

V6 Touareg is $35K range, V8 is like $41K range.

Nice SUV, but frankly $41,000 and Volkswagen sound like an oxymoron to me. My own thing, I know.

And I've seen a few of the Porsche Cayenne in person riding around my area. They look much nicer in person then in pictures...but (again) $96K for an SUV! Talk about small-penis-makeup syndrome

 

And the most “off road” action 98% of them will ever see is when the wife cuts the driveway too short and runs through the flower bed.

Yes, I didn't put that in my post but I had the same thought. The interior is really nice -- top quality leather and all the goodies. Imagine hauling some old greasy lawn mower in that thing. No Way. I'd go rent a truck before I'd get my Porsche soiled!

 

Yea but did they say that they will incorporate the V10-V12 desiel engine into it?

I like it! It got really good reviews in a Car & Driver a few months back. It was in a comparo. and it took first place over 4 other pop. utes. Good luck!

 

Inside: very nice. Outside: Cayenne looks better in my opinion.

 

Smaller, heavier, taller than a Passat Wagon.

What's the point? You must REALLY REALLY want the off-road capability.

 

Not smaller, but yeah i rather have a W8 passat wagon.

 

The next Passat (2005) would a killer very nice a I read in Automobile Mag.

I will have a Turbo Charged V6 3.2L and R32 edition will have low-end-torque with 300 HP!

 

Last I read, the final decison on bringing the 400 something ft/lb diesel V10 stateside hadn't been made. Local VW dealer had no idea either.

Centainly hope it does.

 

No offense but the H2 will go through about 3-4ft of water and only cost like 8-9 thousand more....

 

Looks good but i'd rather have an FX45 for that price.
