the porsche pit..
“For the price though I’d rather take a Cayenne turbo.”

Um.. there is a few $$ between this and a Cayenne Turbo actually few $$ is not really the term…

I went to a dealer to see volkswagen Touareg. It’s a big vehicle, don’t know why, it looks a lot bigger than a TDI3.6 model. it made me wonder why such a big one doesn’t offer 7 seat option.

even if you were unfortunate enough to get 12.1l/100km out of a modern FG falcon it would be 12.1 litres of PETROL, not $1.85 per litre diesel…so such a statement as you made on the last page there to me seems ludicrous.

beaut car though, if i were driving with my collared-shirt and v-neck sweater to norwood parade to get a cafe latte i wouldnt want to drive anything else…

I reckon this is one of the most accomplished samrtest SUV’s on the market today even with smaller engines.
I’d have one no-problem.

I like it. It looks clean. For the price though I’d rather take a Cayenne turbo. Sure the fuel will be more but its a Porsche..worth every penny…

to those who say the kw’s are low for a v10

ITS A DIESEL

it make 850NM of torque @ 2000 rpm

who needs kw!!

strange how 2.6 tonne with such low kw can pull 0-100 in 6 and a bit…. kw= sfa in this rig

Casey, may I ask why the hell are you comparing Commodore’s to a VW Touareg R50!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Big difference in class (sedan, to 4×4 etc.)
