Hello Forum,

So, VW finally answered the demands on having a more attainable TDI Touareg, versus the top end, higher priced V10.
Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to the V6 3.0L TDI Touareg.

Starting at mid $43k, just $3,500 over the gas V6, it's a great deal right off the bat. MY2009 will most likely now reflect MY2010 as the deliveries have, in true VW form, been pushed to July. The MY2010 order guide for the VW Touareg V6 TDI is due out in May/June 2009.

Allthough I have not received assumed invoice pricing as of yet, the retail pricing looks very promising!

VW is showing the horsepower as 221, and the torque at approximately 415. If towing, off roading, camping, or all of the above is your niche, then the V6 TDI is your ride of choice. I personally drove a gas V6 last year for a few weeks, and I was ready to sign on the "dotted" line. At the time, gas was through the roof, and at 80 bucks a tank twice a week, I was suffering the tug on the old wallet and backed out. Now with this TDI, maybe 80 bucks for a whole week? This will mean, however, that I will have to tow something, go camping, or off roading...!!

Whatever the case, I gleefully anticipate the V6 TDI.

i always wanted one of theez, i dunno, if i make journeyperson, i would want this or an a8 b4 i get mah house

Little update, Torque is officially at 445, not 415.
