10 months agoWhich is a shame, because that’s just an economy version of the Touareg that it replaced (which you can still buy outside the US).
Touareg is a beast. Basically a joint platform with the Porsche Cayenne and Audi Q7. Tows as much as a full size truck, in the form factor of a medium SUV.
VW has a history of making a crappier, less capable, uglier, and cheaper version of their best cars, and only offering the shitty one in the US.
I’ll 1-up this.
In my area, there is a white Audi that has FULLY PAINTED over the inner half of his taillights. It’s a sedan, and the inner half of the lights goes up with the trunk lid. Those are body color white. So the car just has tiny outside taillights. It looks like “We have Audi at home” [insert pick of an ugly Audi-inspired Grand Theft Auto car].
