VW Touareg: No pope-mobile!

Pope Touareg
According to Wheels24 VW decided not to produce a new pope-mobile based on a VW Touareg. This decision was made based on the Pope's own wishes. The Pope asked VW to make more cars available for charitable purposes and not to produce a car just for him.

VW was to have presented the new papal car to the Pope at the World Youth Day celebrations in August in Cologne. VW is a sponsor of the event and will be providing organizers with at least 100 vehicles.
