V8 Touareg???

Anyone know if we ever get the V8 in this country? Would love to buy one.

I doubt it, unless it is diesel V8. Try V6 TDI and you wouldn't want petrol V8, unless you're anti-diesel. Are you?

Well, I like the fuel economy a diesel gives you but I'm not looking for a frugal car. I'd buy a Golf diesel if I was after economy. I just like the pure power a V8 petrol gives you. And the sound..... Had the opportunity to drive the W12 version in Germany last December. Now that's grunt. Makes all Tiguan and Golf "Tuners" look rather silly.

You mean one of these. Auto only as far as I'm aware.

That's the one. Only I want one new. I didn't know they sold V8's here in Oz. Hmmm.. tempting, only I'm getting my new Tigga next month.

Mickofoz,

I brought one of the last V8 Touarges in Australia, from new in May 2006. Its fully optioned, Sat nav, Sunroof, Side Steps, 19' wheels, Silver on Black. Only done 29,000KMS, yes that's correct. Still under FACTORY VW warrantie until April 2012! I am thinking of selling to up grade to a new V10. If you are interested, send me a private message and I will send full details and photos ECT.

I average 11.9lt/100 on the highway @ 110kms and around 14-15lt/100 combined.

Hi VW42, tell you what, if you had made me that offer about 3 months ago, I would have probably taken it. We will take delivery of our new Tiguan next month though. Thanks for the offer but I'm now allowed any more cars, if you know what I mean.
