Specs for the New Zealand Tiguan are out and can be found here:

Their R-Line has the 8" touchscreen.

They can also option the Dynaudio Excite. Nice!

I do do hope we get the Dynaudio option!!... Please!

Thx, still no HUD though

Given that it is available in other RHD markets, I think I'm going to wait till that (and the 7 seat option) is available.

At least it finaly has folding mirrors.

Can't believe that wasn't a standard feature on the Gen 1.

I believe the Area View they are speaking of in the Tiguan is what is in the Audi Q3 I have, this is basically all round prox sensors which display a basic image showing you any obstacles.
The Area View I had in my Touareg was the 4 x cameras set up which displayed actual video of your surrounds.
This AFAIK is only with the Passats and Touaregs.

For the premium they are asking for Gen 2, it should come with all this stuff.

Passat 206TSI R-line looks good value at $57,990 or $59,990 + ORC for the wagon in comparison.

Seen two types of rear bumper/ exhaust diffusers on the R line...anyone know which type we're getting? One type has the false trapezoidal exhausts while the other has just the twin pipes....

We'll have to wait and see. All the brochures that I've seen have "overseas model shown" disclaimers in them. The 140TDI Highline won't be here until later in the year and not sure whether some of these will be option up with R-line body kits or not. I'd be surprised if they didn't but it'll probably come down to whether VWA is able to order them at the time.
