VW Touareg 2: VW's second crack at SUV segment

Interesting review here of the VW Touareg 2.

The revisions that you will notice immediately include a completely redesigned front end with a new stylized chrome grille on V-6 models with chrome eyebrows. A new front bumper, new side mirrors and sleek, new headlamp housings round out the big changes up front.

Along the sides the visual appeal is spiked with fresh 17-inch alloy wheels standard on the V-6 and V-8 models. The changes continue at the rear with a new roof edge spoiler, LED-style brake lights and new chrome tailpipes.

For almost a decade, VW has been churning out some premium interiors, but you do have to pay the piper to slip into one. No skimping on high-quality materials here as I was treated to beautiful textures and rich luxurious creamy colors punctuated by excellent fit and finish.

The seats improve with better lateral support and flank a console that still looks good if not much different from the previous generation.
