    Volkswagen Touareg V8

    Well we picked up my mom's new car yesterday night. Brand new Touareg V8, Companello (I think that's the name) White, on Pure Beige with wood accent, 18" Alloys. Navigation system (a bitch to learn, but not bad once you figure it out, I named her Hilga, it's a pleasing German woman telling me how to get to my destination.) Full leather, pretty much every option they have except for the 19" alloys. 82 Miles were on it last night, now ~270

    It's a blast to drive, in sport mode it is actually pretty fast for an SUV, and faster than a Cayenne S, at least from the seat if not numbers. The exhaust note is really nice too, subdued in drive, but really nice sport. Extremelly comfortable and well built, everything feels solid. 12-way adjustable heated electric seats.


    Ok enough rambling, here's a picture, more to come when it stops raining. Ok so really I was just bored, not so much a picture as a weird advert...

    Personally i have never really like this car. Not a fan of the looks so i never really went near one. Just assumed it would be nice to ride in. The interior looks a bit boring though.
    Spose it is a nice ride though, a Sport mode on an SUV has always seemed pointless to me.
    Anyway, just my honest opinion.

    No, I wouldn't have. We looked at the S and Turbo, this is the same interior wise, and better speed (over the S, not Turbo) and exterior wise. But thanks for your assertion.

    That's what I thought, then I drove one... "Driver's wanted." Driver found

    It just doesn't. Nice car by the way. Not my cup of tea but still.
    Lack of charisma can be fatal.

    Thanks guys, its a BLAST to drive! Doesn't feel heavy, though of course it is. I programmed the menus to be in German so many features... *drool* like as your speed increases, the radio maintains porportion to noise levels, so when you floor it the radio turns up to match.

    Good choice between this and the Cayenne.

    One looks like a bullfrog, one doesnt
