Default Facelifted Touareg unveiled

Hey, just like that, an official photo of the facelifted Touareg and little press release has popped up. It's pretty much what anyone looking at the spy shots expected.

From Autoblog

The shield grille is a little too square for my liking, but the metal bits along the side air intakes are excellent.

I love the Touareg, and I love the new/updated look.

Not too bad. Now if they'd just make a working truck version I'd have a use for one.


Oh yea! And it'd have to be stick.

As a fellow air-head, do you by chance remember the 1303 Nordstadt? It was basically a 914 chassis, with a Super Beetle body and a 2.7 Carrera 911 engine in it.. Now that would be the bomb to likewise take a Touareg and get a NB on that chassis...

Here's an historical cross section.:


And a look at the very Porsche dash:
