The Atlast and the Taiquishia are semi-credible in their respective segments and VW is willing to come off list a lot to get them out the door. VW dealers finally have something to live for. The dealers would love a TRoc and a VW "Edge".

The Atlas and New Tiguan and finally here although late they are far superior to their competitors and if you do a balanced comparison you will find only price would lead you to buy something else as they are far superior in almost every category
