New Touareg info?

**jb747** · 07-04-2011, 08:17 PM

I'm pretty close to signing on the dotted line with another brand too (and not even related to Volkswagen). Never would have looked if the info had been made available sooner. And still no info on the web site.

I guess they've got thousands of buyers who just don't mind waiting...sorry, but I don't think I can wait any longer.

After the marketing guys finish working out the government's plain paper packaging gig for smokes they will be getting back to the Touareg release.
I guess someone out there could still be waiting.

It seems that both Singapore and Malaysia (both RHD countries) have the new Touareg available in interesting specification levels, especially the Malaysian version. Both have bi-xenons and electric memory seats standard and the (petrol) Malaysian version also has low reduction transfer case as standard.

If they took out the sunroof and woodgrain and added the 100L tank that would do me fine as I am not really a diesel type of person but don't mind the occasional offroad foray. But I guess the chances of seeing that spec here are zero.

And as with other forum posters the wait for model release (considering it seems from other countries VW www sites that Aust and Indonesia are about the only countries without the new model) is becoming tiresome. Let alone ordering one and then waiting for a futher ridiculous amount of time.

I was originally very interested in a Tiguan but when they were released and it was going to be a minimum 8 month wait for a 147TSI I gave up and bought another brand 4WD that was on the showroom floor. When we bought our Golf it was in the dealer's holding yard and we had it in days. I intend to wait for the new Touareg release but have the feeling the next car isn't going to be a Touareg because I doubt VW are going to have the right spec mix available initially and I don't believe in signing up for something with basically an open ended delivery date.

I heard July release which would make a AIMS debut in Melbourne.

Land Rover just released pricing and some specs info for the Evoque that is due to launch in November. November! Touareg due to launch in July and we haven't heard a peep about pricing from VGA. Does not help at all for anyone planning their purchase. No wonder people are giving up and buying something else.

Yeah had a look into an Evoque the other day. If you want one with a couple of options in a specific spec then try a Jan or Feb 2012 delivery date at best, if you order now.

Agree with you about a vehicle being released in Nov can have it's pricing displayed 6 months early is something VGA need to look at.

I guess they don't care, but I wonder just how many sales VAG have lost with the tactic of 'no information'? I was dead keen on a Touareg, but no information can cool any ardor.
