They sure are. In the 2009 Dakar Rally, held in South America for the first time this year, three of the top ten finishers were in VW Touareg TDI vehicles (they won first, second and sixth place finishes). This legendary rally was more than 6,000 miles long over grueling terrain and climate conditions in Argentina and Chile. Also, Volkswagen races in the SCORE International Baja 500 race in Mexico.
