Volkswagen Wants To Show People What The Touareg Can Do
The Touareg is actaully a very capable SUV both on pavement and off the beaten path. But that fact may be less apparent to people who know nothing about the Touareg. When they see an interior swathed in leather and woodgrain, they don't associate those features with an SUV that can ford water or take on inclines up to 45 degrees. So to help remedy this gap in knowledge in the public, Volkswagen wants you to go on vacation. Volkswagen is currently taking reservations for the TouaregAdventure program, which is held in Moab, Utah. The three-day adventure is designed around the capabilities of the Touareg, such as an exercise in traversing rocks and all that fun offroading stuff. All that traversing done with the beautiful Moab landscape in the backdrop. Now, of course, in keeping with the Touareg's luxury SUV image, this program costs a pretty penny. 2,000 per person, and that doesn't include airfare.
But what you do get is pretty much worth it. Lodging is at the acclaimed Sorrel River Ranch and food is provided. Press release and photos after the jump. Source: Volkswagen of America. AUBURN HILLS, Mich. 鈥?Join Volkswagen in Moab, Utah and experience first hand the unique capabilities of the Volkswagen Touareg sport utility vehicle in a professionally guided, off-road adventure through some of America鈥檚 most ruggedly beautiful landscapes. Volkswagen is presently taking reservations for TouaregAdventure, a three-day, off-roading excursion through picturesque canyons and challenging terrains. The weekend packages run July, 2007 through the end of October, 2007. Participants do not need to be experienced off-road drivers as experienced guides will coach guests through the challenging Moab terrain. TouaregAdventure is a once-in-a lifetime opportunity to learn how to safely navigate the wilds of Moab, in the luxury of the award winning Volkswagen Touareg. Where you never thought a vehicle could go, the Touareg deftly takes you, tantalizing the senses with dramatic views of the Colorado River and its famous red rock cliffs. This experience matches the distinctive dual nature of Volkswagen鈥檚 premium SUV: mountain goat prowess in the backcountry, with the refined manners of a sports sedan on pavement.
鈥淚t鈥檚 our goal to introduce our special guests to one of the country鈥檚 most gorgeous natural environments, in the comfortable confines of our new Touareg,鈥?said Steve Keyes, general manager public relations, Volkswagen of America.
