I hate to seem like a cold water merchant, but I don't buy this 4x4 stuff one jot - fashion garbage, and a total deviation from the VW standard fare. Land Rover have been doing the job properly for long enough to prove the point, and if you want a 7 seater Minicab, get an import Emina Spacewagon-type thing, and be done.
a recent, non conceptual pic............ already looking different to the concept version surprise surprise!
think the main aim is to compete against smaller suv's, e.g. rav4, X3 and freelander types leaving the touraeg against X5, Landrover, ect.
Heres Audi's contender against VW's Tiguan, the Q5 not sure if its more like a mini Q7 or an inflated A4 avant / a6 offroad. still, the good news is Audi are putting in a 2.0tdi with 200+hp, which should find its way into a version of the A3 or A4......which is nice .
what is it with all the high cars today , its great when pulling out on a 2 lane roundabout , i cant even see over there bonnet top for seeing whats coming Red
conecpt looks nice... again i really dont get 4X4s either... you just dont need them unless you actually live somewhere which demands it
