		Unlike rivals such as BMW's X5 and Volvo's new XC90, the Touareg is a proper off-roader with lockable differentials and a low-ratio gear set to add to its full-time four-wheel drive.
		It has the motive power to live up to these looks, too: one of the two engines available at launch is a mighty 5.0-litre V10 turbodiesel with 313bhp and a monster 553lb ft of torque.

		As for all that grit and luxe, the latest TV ad campaign for the Touareg emphasizes both this vehicle's swanky interior digs and its ability to rock 'n' roll over the worst sort of terrain you might ever consider taking a $40,000-plus vehicle across or through.
		And it's not hype: After test-driving the Touareg, we can tell you that it is indeed one of the most capable off-road SUVs we've ever driven--and it's also mighty upscale inside, too.
		It has a great ride, too, but only the V-6 Touareg is cost-competitive, and then, stacked against the likes of the cheaper Nissan Murano or the Honda Pilot, it once again doesn't make economic sense.

		Building a lean, modern assembly line in the States could be a matter of "do-or-die," suggests CAR's Dr. Cole, though it would also exacerbate a problem VW already has with global overcapacity.
