Volkswagen Quietly Slips Out The 2011 Touareg Hybrid

Nice exterior. Awesome interior...impressive.

Will the hybrid system make it more reliable or less reliable? Anybody wanna take a guess? And I've always liked the Touareg, just not reliable enough.

A precursor to the new Cayenne?

Definitely impressive. Much, much better looking than the outgoing one. woot

so it's a hybrid or just has stop/start technology? they're not the same you know

What are you talking about? This is not a START/STOP system but a full hybrid with an additional electric engine. One other note: you can´t really compare a Toyota to a car like this! Look at the interior quality, the leather, the high-resolution displays in the instrument cluster and center console, the metall and wood, the design of the steering wheel. You have the choice of hundreds of combinations of exterior and interior colors and if you want, you can get it in pink color. Sorry, but I haven´t seen any Toyota/Lexus SUV with comparable appearance and individualization options...

odd comment from someone favouring cars with unintend acceleration and braking issues ...

The styling looks just like the Cayenne yet somehow looks alot better as a VW, maybe its the front end because otherwise the two vehicles look identical.Hopefully reliability has improved with this car though this is one of those brands i wouldnt even risk buying a hybrid from they cant make a regular gasoline engine reliable more components and moving parts just sounds foolish...but nice car though

WTF is with all the comments about reliability ?

VW Sells Tens of Millions of Vehicles worldwide and only in the USA do i hear comments about Reliability issues. And it is always second hand accounts {Friend of a Friends Vehicle} of reliability issues.

Grow the F up.
