Default i just saw

the new VW Toureg last night. wow, its beautiful!!! pretty much the same engine as the Porsche Cayenne, except 15K cheaper.

the dealer had it in a sexy gunmetal color, and the interior was incredible. the gas mileage was 14 city, 18 highway :chuckles:

my stepdad is thinking about getting one

I saw three in one day for the first time, and none since. Sharp vehicle, but it will carry Volkswagen's terminal case of over engineering and will be in the shop on a monthly basis for Check Engine light codes.

FX is more my style, but I can picture myself in a gunmetal/black Toureg

V10 Diesel with 555 torque is :naughty:

I love how the Toureg looks. Very nice. Great (but kind of confusing) interior. But I don't know about reliability. I think if I wanted something that bad to tow with I'd buy an regular Envoy and save some money, and head-aches.

i don't think its going to be that much of a problem with reliabilty, its still a VW.
