Touareg...

[mr.utility at highstream.net (David Utley)]

  I myself will not have a Touareg.  There have been a few electrical gremlins 
to haunt those cars, even from the start...  However, the GM from BMW (cannot 
recall his name), is working hard to improve VWs reliability problems...  He 
has employed at least two engineers to go out in the field and fix the cars at 
the home or work other owners!  They are trying hard, I think it is too early 
to tell if it will work out in the long run...  The Touareg is rated very 
highly in the press, but the papers don't help with longevity...

  And what is it with the VW and these middle eastern names?  I did not know 
for a long time, but Jetta is a town in Saudi Arabia...
