Hybrid VW Touareg in the works!

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009

I’m a huge Touareg Fan and I feel kind of sad that we haven’t had a Touareg on the blog before. Today, that changes with this excellent news from the green-planet-loving-Touareg-fans that are people like… Me! :D

VW has announced a Hybrid version of the Touareg, and even though I obviously prefer the V8 Diesel, I’m sure the VW engineers will do great in turning this Hybrid into something agile and fun-to-drive.

VW Polo goes with the flow in US

Most of the people are going small. They’re resorting to smaller cars since such units are more fuel-efficient. This trend is the reason why Volkswagen is planning to sell Polo small cars in the United States of America.

The oil prices will definitely rise again. If this continues, more and more people will prefer small cars to spend lesser costs on fuel. Although, VW has never tried the competition in the subcompact part of US, it is worth a try since they also offer the same feature: fuel efficiency.

VW is well aware of the fact that their cars are influenced by the European heritage. But they’re not sitting down on this matter as they’re on their way to upgrading their models to better suit the new market in the US.
