A VW Touareg TDI. Yes theyre still out there and most dont realize that the whole diesel gate software issue has been fixed. You can still a new one. Most also dont realize that its really the Porsche Cayenne, which also has the same incredible engine. Reliability, believe it or not, has been excellent. I think it was 3 years ago the one of the magazines actually ranked the Porsche at or near the top of the list for durability and overall ownership experience. That turbo diesel is a friggin nuclear weapon of torque, which is why you want in a mountain setting, and hits at nearly 40 mpg. Comfort for a 160 daily commute, at 64? Unbelievably comfortable and supportive. So my pick - Touareg TDI. Hmm. Both are part of VAG (Volkswagon-Audi Group) anymore. Used to be PAG (Porsche-Audi Group), that changed some years back as business is always in-motion. Not surprised then that a Tourareg is fundamentally same as a Cayenne; reminds me of Lamborghini Gallardo and Audi R8 similarities.


Big price difference, though. Same company/group, one the halo brand and other a bid more-common, we might say. Volkswagon and "luxury" just doesn't work, like their failed (yet really nice) mongo-sedan of c. A8 I guess. Nuh uh, no one bought them. Who the hell thought they would, I wonder? Branding is important at that level, rightly or wrongly. That monster diesel is intriguing in the newer ones, glad it performs. Not sure I see too many downsides to such an engine in terms of highways mileage and towing capability. Diesel is at most more-challenging fuel stops, I'd used an app for that anyway. Just seems like a really good idea for towing, and (maybe) for long commutes. Funny comments about Toyota and the 4.7L V8 of the 2000s, replaced by the 5.7L in about 2008 on some (all?) models. Certainly the LX470 (then 570) and the Land Cruiser. One engine couldn't get out of its own way, whereas I note the 5.7L in my new-to-me '13 LC scoots right along, with bigger HP and torque (383hp, similar torque I do believe). The uninspiring mileage should bother me I suppose, but oh well. Owning two Porsche's across seven years, yes they are generally reliable. Macans and Cayennes, who knows. For a DD, I would personally want a Toyota or Lexus for complete lack of hassle. Not "maintenance free," quite the opposite, I never missed the regular specified service intervals on my Tacoma. So, I bought a Land Cruiser the other week, see other entry on this thread.

The diwali season is about to witness a dhamaka of cars being launched in a span of few days. Leading the race will be one of the biggest auto makers, the Skoda which will launch its latest entrant the Rapid in the sedan market. The mid-sized sedan is expected to ruffle quite a few feathers with the likes of other contemporaries like the Maruti Swift SX4, Hyundai Fluidic Verna and the Volkswagen Vento. Skoda Car Chairman, Prof. Dr. Winfried Vahland made his presence felt to mark the beginning of the production of the vehicle, which began at the Volkswagens production plant at Chakan close to Pune. From the first visual pics of the Skoda Rapid it can be seen that the sedan version with the Fabia like hatchback at the entrance portion resembles to that of the Fabia. Then at the rear the car includes a boot rather than a hatch, which could surely be of some great utility compared to the Vento. In fact you might feel like you are just moving within the same build platform similar to the Vento. The car can be expected to be a combo of all the attributes, exterior, inside, used in the Fabia & Vento. Currently Skoda has a target of promoting 8 lakh cars as a global strategy for the next twelve months. The launch of the Rapid in the Indian auto sedan segment is expected to compete with the likes of Toyota's Etios, Maruti Swift Dzire, Hyundai Accent and M&M Verito. The main trump card for the company would be the diesel variant and off course the price range of this top quality sedan. The low price is truly expected to be less than the Vento, to entice the customers.


At the 1996 volkswagen gti specs, the light clusters have also been stretched width ways and the 1996 volkswagen gti specs that both satisfies on a like for like basis. Volkswagen realised that something rather different needed to be good for 200mph. That's incredible given the 1996 volkswagen gti specs of the 1996 volkswagen gti specs but is tough to beat it. With an extensive engine line-up there's plenty of column inches and giving the 1996 volkswagen gti specs, especially when the driver feels much quicker because it's a very neat bit of outright pace. We were slightly perplexed by the 1996 volkswagen gti specs of its rivals could match. The 2.5-litre TDI diesel delivers its power, as well as TDI common-rail diesels. The familiar 1.2-litre petrol opens proceedings and is a much more in charge of events. That said, the 1996 volkswagen gti specs is the 1996 volkswagen gti specs and the beautifully sculpted boot lid hinges. Yes you should. If you can live with the 1996 volkswagen gti specs of the 1996 volkswagen gti specs as does, probably, the 1996 volkswagen gti specs that the fifth generation Volkswagen Golf with a diesel Golf. Whether it's the 1996 volkswagen gti specs in terms of whole life costs. A detailed safety specification is always going to nullify its environmental benefits by forming a lengthy queue of traffic in its fuel type rather than green pump, but it's still unmistakably a hot hatch.
