Hi all,
Well guess what? I was on the tram this morning and saw the same vehicle. It turned out to be a blue R50 Diesel Treg. Sorry for the faulse alarm.:bowdown:

Interestingly several UK news sources have run articles on this Tiguan R line in the past week or so...
seems it will finally be released over there this summer.
No new engine though.

interestingly a Aust site picked it up... but looks like the exact same copy with no mention of a local release... unless someone has heard something?

VW (dealer) said to me no R Tiguan, but you can order the optional sports body kit now. Makes it look like the R-Line Tiguan overseas
Wait for it .... about $5000 fitted ..... so I said no thanks ...:)
R-Line bodykit not available in Oz, according to this:
http://www.goauto.com.au/mellor/mell...light=2,tiguan
As in the optional accessories page in the Tiguan brochure. Looks almost just like the R-Line kit. Have a look .....Quote:

One of the new options is what I believe they call "adaptive" suspension, one of the Norwegian guys on http://www.mytiguan.com/ has it I think. Allows some degree of ride altering I believe but not actual ride height.Quote:
