What does the automotive press think of the Touareg?
The automotive press almost universally loves the Touareg. Car and Driver magazine named the 2004 Touareg the best luxury SUV of 2003. The Auto Channel says “I was impressed beyond my expectations” In the November 2003 issue, Car and Driver compared the Touareg to The Cadillac SRX V-8, the Infiniti FX45, and the Porsche Cayenne S. The Touareg finished in last place, which seems inconsistent with their earlier praise of the vehicle. Car and Driver de fends their test results by pointing out that none of the other vehicles were available during the previous Touareg review, and that this review did not involve any off-road driving.
