If any of you care to know, the VW dealership in Georgetown Ontario Canada
(40 mins northwest of Toronto) has a nice new Touareg in!.... I just saw
them moving it to prime location on their lot, I think they JUST got it in
today..... methinks I need to make a stop at the dealer :-).

My dealer is getting one this week....

I can't wait!

Saw the demo model tooling around town after work today, the occupants
inside seemed pretty happy with it, it looks like a nice car, except the
back reminds me of a Toyota Sienna or something similar... lights are too
rounded I tihnk.

Park a Touareg next to a 1992-1996 Camry wagon...same shape lights.

At least the rest of the Touareg's butt end isn't as ugly as that Camry
wagon's was.

I thought that was spelled Touareq at first --- "Tow A Wreck" probably
isn't the best choice of a car model name!

I think I read in Autoweek that US VW dealers begged VWAG to change the
name to something else for North America but to no avail. Isn't Touareq
an African word? My son spent a fair amount of time working in Eurpoe
and said that Europeans have a fascination for African stuff.

I am really incensed by the 'request to change the name', I have know what the
Touaregs are since I was in high school, when stidying geography, why is it that
some consider teh America public so ignorant, or worst yet, VW fans [ the true
ones ] ? How hard is it really to pronounce the name ? And would any potential
buyer not get the name accross to the sales person pronouncing any way they can ?
Like it will be conused with Golf, Jetta or Passat....

Geeweezzzz

I know, it fits it very well, its as good a name as Explorer, or
Discovery... at least it isn't plain stupid like RAV-4, CRV, or Suburban....
and what the hell is a Tahoe?

Touareg (pronounced tour-egg apparantly) is quite the classy, sophisticated
and very proper name.
