Crazy Torque, but...

VW really needs to get help for this identity crisis issue.

Now where's the Real People's Car - the UP! ?

I think the UP! would be a great car...they have to make it.

But a 350hp VW V10 diesel does it for me. :P

Eh, there's something about the 500hp Audi Q7 V12 TDI that I like more...

I agree with you S4cabriofoxone, the Q7 V12 TDI is one of my dream cars right up there with the Bentley Brooklands coupe.
