2007 Volkswagen Touareg
|
|
While it would appear that only three parts-two headlights and a grille-have been changed to freshen the Touareg for 2007, Volkswagen clams that they've added more than 2300 redesigned parts. It's what's inside that counts, right? After all, that's where the o... more |

2009 Volkswagen Passat Coupe
|
|
This sleeker Passat is Vee-Dub's take on the four-door-coupe thing. Look for a trick liftgate that can open as a regular trunk or like a hatch. A 3.6-liter VR6 should provide 280 hp in base spec and 400 hp in turbocharged guise. Automakers, particularly German... more |

2008 Volkswagen Tiguan
|
|
Volkswagen calls the Concept A "the child of a new era," but we think a more likely parent has to be the Hyundai HCD-9 Talus Concept shown at January's Detroit show. Both feature all-wheel drive, suicide rear half-doors, huge wheels, and styling that blurs the... more |
