I prefer the existing front to the one on the 2012 Tig. If you ask me the design team have come up with a cheaper manufacturing approach, with less chrome to cut costs, and probably a more simplified manufacturing process.

2012 Tiguan Review
Love it how all the reviews and articles all refer to "new" engines in the 2.0TSIs ..... idiots ....
The "new" 2.0TSI Tiguans all still have exactly the same engines as the "old" Tiguans, the ECU's have just been tweaked a bit .... essentially a mini remap just like aftermarket tuning .....
Also, always funny as to how the 155TSI now have the GTI Mk6 engine, which it has always had, even before the MK6 GTI was released 147TSI and 155TSI is mechanically identical .... and still not realising/mentioning that ALL the 2.0TSIs are in fact identical mechanically....
Are these journalists really that ignorant or do they just believe the BS VW is feeding them without checking the facts ......
Apart from that, I do like the new front end more than the old 1. Still a brilliant small SUV and with BT and MDI now standard across the range even better.
Best buy at the moment IMO is the 132TSI Pacific Manual ....
