Touareg coupe and pickup on the way?



According to some sources, Volkswagen may be launching variants of their popular Touareg SUV. By 2007, the Touareg may have a coupe and pick-up truck version. The first model expected to be launched in 2006 is the coupe, which will aim to compete with the upcoming BMW X6. The second model, expected sometime in 2007, is a pickup truck based on the AAC Concept shown at the Detroit Auto Show in 2000. It is expected to compete with the proposed pickup truck from Mercedes Benz. VW hasn't confirmed or denied whether they will launch a Touareg coupe or a pickup truck, however VW is expected to release up to 13 new models in the next two years.

Re: Touareg coupe and pickup on the way?

Just like CLS & X3 won't be the only vehicles in the segment soon, X6 will not be the only SAC in the market.

We can surely expect some SAC vehicles coming from VAG and Porsche, and maybe even Mercedes (MLC?).

Totally possible. these days many manufacturers are almost forced to follow trends.

Re: Touareg coupe and pickup on the way?

I must be missing something here .....what is the point of this?

VW once represented the epitome of German rationality and practicality -- this just seems over-indulgent and extravagant to me ....an utterly ridiculous idea .....but they probably would sell ...and that is what really confuses me.

Re: Touareg coupe and pickup on the way?

what exactly is the point of having a Touareg coupe? Maybe it will make more sense if they put a Porsche badge on it and use it as the Cayenne's replacement.

Re: Touareg coupe and pickup on the way?

a touareg pick-up reminds me of those big american pickups... I don't think this is a good idea!

It looks pretty good though, even if this is a photoshop.

Re: Touareg coupe and pickup on the way?

I just can't stand the idea of pick-up trucks from the German luxury car manufacturers.
