VWs stupidity.


Toureg is a nice luxury SUV, and has gotten a lot of awards...but, its
still an Silly Useless Vehicle.  I'd take one with the V10 TDI, interior
all stripped down, skid plates, etc...gimmie a rough and tumble true
offroader and they'd probably get my money (mainly that engine gives me a
woody).

As for the Polo, oh yes, its larger than the original golf (rabbit).  Only
thing close to the rabbit in size is the Lupo, and rumor is, they are
stopping production of the Lupo this year...even if they didn't stop
making it, we would never have gotten it.  (Much to my chagrin)
