2004 Volkswagen Touareg
The Touareg name is taken from a nomadic tribe in the Sahara. VW says
it has aimed for a best combination of two usually separate SUV worlds.
On-road, the Touareg serves as a luxury sedan, and off-road, it attacks
terrain with a "mountain-goat attitude."
The Touareg's U.S. lifetime will start in June 2003, when it hits VW stores at a rate of 45,000 or so a year. Price of the base model with a 3.2-liter V-6 and all-wheel drive will be in the $35,000 neighborhood. Add the optional 4.2-liter V-8 from the Audi A8, or the 420-hp W-12 expected in 2004, plus air suspension, and you'll knock on 50 large.
The Touareg is a new platform to be shared with Porsche (its version is the Cayenne, due out by March of 2004).
