I'm interested. Good timing for me.

Pardon me for asking what goes wrong with the Pano roof? Fincher I thought you where gonna drive yur 012 for a while?

Well, I don't see these new ones here until 2018. By then, I'm ready! Besides, I may keep my '12 as a third ride. My girls will need a safe vehicle.

Hopefully the new 'decentralized' VW here makes good decisions with future product offerings. Getting handcuffed by the mothership in Wolfsburg (as in the previous decade) is still a possibility. Same old VWoA? We shall see...

Executive trims were hard to find here, too. That's normal. The Lux was easy to find.

That's a pretty steep list to compete with. Can you say "Phaeton"? History has proven that a $80,000 Volkswagen isn't exactly a seller. Seriously...it's not. This market barely supports the Touareg now.

Why, when the Porsche dealer has Performance SUV covered, and has the bona fides to compete with "M" and "AMG".

Drop a V8 in the Q7? Maybe. Just maybe. The brand badge covers it within reason.

In a VW.....come on?! Really? A VW?

Old VW maybe. The VW that we're about to see when dieselgate settles? I highly doubt it. Hope we even get a next-gen Touareg.

I read 'em. Don't know what to think. Some writers get it wrong. Just not buying the early hype at this point. I'm all for what is outlined according to the article, though. Could be the Touareg stays the way it is and VW just markets it as performance...forget about comparing it to Porsche, etc.

Yes, the CrossBlue concept is now a reality. I just wouldn't put too much into an article that calls the Touareg a performance SUV. Too much hype on all things VW SUVs and these auto mags are the leading edge of hype.

I do think the Touareg is sorta of a performance vehicle with the TDI but it's not a Range Rover, etc. and never will be...the way I like it.

Destined for the US and Canada? Or, ROW?

Interesting. I thought it meant everywhere but here. Time will tell. Should would be great.
