Driven: 2010 Volkswagen Touareg TDI
2010 Volkswagen Touareg TDI - Volkswagen Diesel Crossover SUV - Automobile Magazine
All swan songs should be this good.

You might recall one of the great automotive oddities of the aughts: the Volkswagen Touareg with a 5.0-liter turbo-diesel V-10 engine, one which produced an absurd 553 lb-ft of torque but raised the price of entry for this supposedly mainstream SUV to an equally absurd $70,000. Those who closed their eyes and wrote the check invariably loved their ten-cylinder kid haulers, but you have to admit that it was a bit extreme, and eventually VW dropped the V-10 because it wasn't worth updating it to meet new American emissions regulations.inline_mediumwraptextright28127110/green/reviews/1004_2010_volkswagen_touareg_tdi1004_01_z+2010_volkswagen_touareg_tdi+taillight.jpgTrue
