I’m trying hard to buy a TDI Touareg 2, but my wife is dragging her heels over the pathetic selections of colors available -- black, white, four shades of grey, brown, and blue. Chips in the brochure are misleading, as are the colors on the VW website. Complicating the matter is the scarcity of Touaregs on dealer lots, so seeing vehicles in the flesh is difficult. Mary has vetoed black, white, blue, and brown, so we’re reduced to the four shades of grey: cool silver metallic, canyon grey metallic, flint grey metallic, and Galapagos grey metallic.
Here’s the favor: it would help if owners of vehicles in these colors would post pictures taken in sunlight so she can get a better sense of what these shades look like in real life. Ideally, the pictures would include views of interiors so we can see how the three interior choices look with the various greys.
With this request as a foundation, should not the Club Touareg Gallery include threads for photos of vehicles in each of the colors available?
Finally, what the H is VW America thinking in restricting the Touareg palette as severely as they have done? No greens; no cream, tan, yellow, gold; no medium or light blue; no reds or maroons. Instead we get FOUR greys. Mary saw an Opera Red Passat in a showroom and fell in love with it. If the Touareg still came in the nice maroon which used to be available, I’d already have bought one.
