    2012 Volkswagen Tiguan

    Someone took the following screenshot from the Volkswagen Germany website before the page was subsequently removed:



    No surprises there. But I'm more curious to see how the revised rear looks like.

    Massive leak for Wolfsburg

    Very similar to the Chinese version, which already has the VW DNA look but different headlights.

    Shanghai VW Tiguan

    Pleased to see there's still a "track and field" version (the blue one) and to me it looks better than the standard. Overall I have to say I'm not a great fan of the "chin strap" look and it's minimised on the track and field.

    Once again of course this is a "maybe" but the fact that it was "accidentally" shown on the VW Germany site would suggest it has more credence than most !!

    Cheers

    I was to.

    It appears Wolfsburg will still cater for the niche off road fans on both the Tiguan and Touareg lines.

    It's just a pity they don't go just a little jump further, all I need is an extra 50mm clearance and some decent high side wall tyres and my diesel Tiguan would be walking its way past past most of the Land Rover fleet !!

    At least you have track and field, but I'm stuck with ugly front and even have to watch when driving up on some driveways.

    Nice !! The problem with all the "add ons" is that they're just that ........... "add ons". It would be much better if you didn't have to pay the huge cost and take the associated warranty and insurance risks that all go with these sorts of "kits". Still NICE though !!

    These leaks are not accidental. The amount of free publicity pulling a stunt like this pulls exceeds any advertising budget.

    Looks nice too BTW.
