    Are my eyes deceiving me???

    I could have sworn that I saw a car carrying truck today on the M5 with a new Tiguan on board!

    When I say new...I mean the MK6 front end like all of those pics we have seen floating around the net...

    It was still wrapped in the white plastic etc from shipping.

    I phoned my dealer, but he said that it couldnt be....

    So, am I just going crazy???

    Hmmm. Any international motor show on in Sydney between the 15th and the 24th of this month.

    Good spot if it is one for the show though!

    The new facelift/model is due to be released next year.
    VW had a press release at the Paris Pre-show however there were no pictures or even renderings.

    I doubt we would be the ones to get the major release, if anything i expect frankfurt to get the official release.
    Could be a press car or a test mule for our conditions though.

    Still deciding whether to bother to go see a belated 2009 motor show.

    Yep, for that reason I always carry my long zoom pocket camera with me.

    But,...I believe you anyway.

    Not saying you were daydreaming, just saying that it wouldn't be released here for another year so it won't be a dealer vehicle.
    Possibly a test mule for our softroading capability, maybe to test a new front end or off-road kit or something.
