Autocar - First for car news and reviews

These images are reported to show scale models of the new Volkswagen Touareg.

The pictures, taken from a scale model catalogue in the Netherlands, show a car with a more rounded, sleer look than the current Touareg, with styling cues from the new Golf, Polo and Scirocco including long, slim headlights.

It's a Golf plus plus right? Oh no, that's the Tigsomething that I never saw one of on the roads... So it's a Golf plus plus plus, designed to look like a Golf plus, plus a bit, plus a bit. Good to know the design studios burnt the midnight oil on this one

Yawn...yet another VW by numbers. But, no doubt it will have the most amazingly high quality cabin you have ever seen and a diesel that could power super-Yachts.

 And...of course, Autocar wil love it.

I'm fairly sure that it's unusual for a scale model catalogue to be at the spearhead of a VW marketing campaign, so i'd treat these pics with 100% scepticism. 

Is it just me who thinks that Autocar has rather lost the plot recently?

Autocar, unfortunately lost the plot several years ago when they merged with and then scrapped Motor! Motor was always the superior mag. Returning to the Touareg, this new version makes both the Audi Q7 and Porsche Cayenne pointless.

Yes, sleer is what I thought too!

Presumably still being built on the same line as the Cayenne - with the recent Porsche/VW merger it will be more difficult to find out the price VW is charging for producing the Cayenne. Current model approx. GBP 23k - which gives an idea of the price of prestige badge.

My old series 1 Elise leaked too, but at least it had rubber mats and you could sort it out with a quick towel down!

Same pics appeared in that other site with 'Auto' in the name... you know, the one famed for it's fuzzy pics and just as many innacuracies... So it must be true ;)

Not at all. Bring back LJKS, George Bishop and Phil Llewellin (God, I miss them)
