Snow packed.....oh please. As for the setup, far too long, in a Range Rover you start the car turn a dial and you are off in less than 15 seconds........and King of the Hill to boot ;)
at the time, this touareg had worn down summer tires... not really meant to have high off road performance. however, if you put good offroad tires on a touareg, it will be able to surprise most. if you didnt already know, the touareg shares the same chassis as the porsche cayenne which has been known to keep up with range rovers off road. not only that, this chassis does rather well on the track ;)
Geeze people! I used to own a BMW, my dad has an older Mercedes ML320, step mom has a newer RX350, brother has an Acura RDX.. I'm very well versed in the luxury SUV crossover market and can say with great ease that the Touareg is the ONLY vehicle in that manufacturer list which was designed from the ground up with TRUE offroad abilities in mind - center/rear diff lock, amazing approach/depart/breakover angles, air suspension, 20" water crossing, 11" ground clearance, 7700lb tow rating, etc.
Nice car! Love the Touareg's. I am still cracking up at the noob who left comments comparing an overpriced Toyota piece of shit to a VW and Mercedes lol
Lexus developped lighter-weight vehicles? WTH have you been smoking? Most of them are really heavy. IS-F, which should be light is 100 kg heavier than BMW M3. Are you really suggesting there've been no light weight cars beofore 1989?
[Variable Valve Timing with intelligence]
Go FUCK YOURSELF LIAR! Fiat was the first auto manufacturer to patent a functional automotive variable valve timing in 1960s.
You can call it Ultra, you can call it Mega, you can call it Hyper, whatever. The simple fact is Prius sucks. Mercedes Bluetec diesel hybrids are lot better cars than any crappy Lexus Hybrids and they've been around before Lexus was even created. The upcoming Mercedes S-class hybrid system is 70% lighter than the one you get in Lexus LS. Now that's what I call proper engineering.
Great! Except it comes with a cost. You cannot trust it because the system is flawed and lots of Lexus drivers have crashed it relying on this system. VW didn't try to be first. They did some proper testing and the result is that it works brilliantly. You see it's not always best to first if you screw it.
Increased horsepower, yeah, right. "I drive Lexus because it has technology no other manufacture can match. It's called "Increased horsepower."
[exceptionally smooth ride]
Lexus developped smooth ride. Uh, what kind of bullshit is that? There were cars with exceptionally smooth ride before not only Lexus, but Toyota even existed. Plus some todays Lexus models have quite harsh rides. RX, SC430 for example.
Agreed here. Well sort of, Lexus USED TO make more silent engines than others. But not so much any more.
^^
All of these are only small achievments and you call that INVENTIONS? Is that really everything your belowed Lexus can throw at Mercedes' REAL INVENTIONS?
Lexus is known for using hypnotizing techniques in its commercial. You sir are a typical type of person fooled and degenerated by these commercials.
i believe the new direct injections and all that stuff have something to do with newer engines not being the most quiet... they push for efficiency and emmissions now... most of those old smooth lexuses were chewing up fuel like monsters
well lets see here... Mercedes invented: the automobile unibody chassis crumple zones airbags disc brakes anti lock brakes distronic auto racing ... just to name a few. and VW made an affordable car for the people which was a huge deal.
al the fastest sport utilities come from Germany... and that goes with the best as well. the Touareg got SUV of the year... and so did the Mercedes GL.
... that stuff under the tires is called snow and it was frozen like ice from the night before so it is slippery. and i was using very little gas and had worn out tires as well.
yes it is. thanks for commenting! i personally think that the touareg is one of the nicest looking cars on the market. it is simple styling and uses just the right amount of chrome.
thanks for the comment! i shall see because it usually snows twice a year where i live. i hope i can do it again next time when it snows... with more snow and more RPM to make it more entertaining. flymia69 also has some very good touareg videos that are well worth checking out. :)
auto diff and high are used in normal driving. they are both part of what you use the at the same time for normal driving. the locking differentials are used to make sure that all of the tires are getting power in rough conditions.
WTF !!!!!!!!

this is why people laugh at Touareg drivers. you needed "map mode", locked diff, and nearly two full minutes to pull forward into your own garage

I'd go Mercedes GLX. It's amazing Off roader with amazing styling and IT'S CHEAP!!
Lexus RX is crap. Rough ride, roly-poly handling, understeer...... it can't compete with any German SUV.
And Mercedes GLX is amazing, just go sit in it. It's got some sort of magic inside.
