Touareg Owner thinking of H3

VW is in trouble with Toureg, sales have really slowed over the last year. I can't figure out why it's so heavy with unibody construction, way over 5000 pounds.

slang for Germany style, business-like, although I thinks spelling is teutonic.

I'm a fan/owner of Porsche's etc.

oh, well, then yes it is very teutoniclike.

I drive and H2 and tought that the "small" windows would be a problem. but, it's not true at all. You have plenty of visibility. But, indeed, go for the sunroof. It gives alot of extra light.

Some plagues are beubonic.

...Sorry, couldn't resist rhyming the two words...

BTW: The Taureg is nothing more than VW's version of the Porsche Cayenne (Carrera? Whichever the SUV is...). They look SOOO much alike!

Other way around, Cayenne is a version of VW Tourag. In fact Porsche took a ownership positon (%) in VW to maintain some control of VW.

Rode in one today for the first time. I was very impressed with the interior. Can't stand the exterior styling though.

There is a refresh on the way, but I didn't think it made that much of a difference.

I like the VW Touareg a lot, especially loaded with options such as the adjustable air suspension. But, it can get expensive. I'd say the Hummer H3 has some important qualities of both the Touareg and Wranger -- a great blend of the two. Like:

- very quiet and smooth ride (as with Touareg), thanks to things like triple rubber door seals.

- great off-road capability and suspension clearance, stock, like the Wranger. The H3 may have even better clearance in stock configuration than the Wranger, what do you think?

but with the twin turbo diesel it should have plenty of horsepower and torque to move 5000+ pounds easily
