I didn't know VW was putting the W12 in the Touareg.

that makes 4 different engines: 3.2 VR6, the 4.2 V-8, the V-10 TDI and now this!

good find.

what's the location?

I have thought that the Vdub looks better than the Pepper. Thanks for the pics, this color looks really nice.

By the way Breck, I really like the photo/art you do. I will be calling you.

had a touareg, traded it in - nothing but problems. I'm sure they've made improvements since I bought it (debut year), but man, what an awful experience...

I also thought it has been out for a while.
The Touregs are beautiful though, too bad you had problems.

A friend of me has a V10 TDI, he is only 19 because the dad has bought a W12. Amazing rides.
