Hi folks,

I shall be taking a Touareg (3.2 V6) for a test drive tomorrow, is anyone interested in hearing my opinion when I have done?

sure, I'm interested, why not.

I've already ordered my XC70, but still interested.

I expect it to have more power and more plush interior.  Adjustable ride hight is probably cool, but will be interesting to see the price delta.

Excluding the higher ground clearance, I would expect exact same traction capability, as I hear it uses the same haldex awd system that the 2003+ XC's do.

take care,
-Don

Obviously YES!  http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif
Even if I don't like the Tuareg's Look.

Porsche Cayenne in different clothes - its gonna be a hot seller!  

Even if no one in the US can pronounce (or spell) the name Touareg

Ok,

I will post pics and comments later in the week.

Suffice to say that the 4X4 system is permanent, and has a 50:50 split as standard. And more ground clearance in the standard sprung version, plus a low ratio feature.
