Cool but I think VW were going to introduce facelift in October according to Aust. press

While the discounts will look attractive it may be good to see how much they have upgraded the Touareg eg better seats & better off road ride according to VW

was told by a dealer today that some new models are here landed already, but they are holding them! no doubt to clear existing stock first,

any body actually get a firm del date?

And the follow-up is...
Matthew's R5 sold in 3 days - and for the price he asked!
Apparently a used R5 in mint condition is as rare as rocking-horse poo. The buyer was from Melbourne and this mighty machine is to be reduced to domestic duties (safe and comfortable transport for owner's wife & kids)
The upshot of all of that is that Matthew was left car-less, and new Touareg not available yet. So he bought a Pajero.
Sad.
We might let him come on our next ClubTouareg outing.
If he follows at a respectful distance.
Maybe.

Actually he should be in front as he'll be the only one to have an after market bull bar.

hummm, I had a Verada from new for 5 years, not a single problem and nice v6, but vowed never to buy Mitsubishi again (they have a track record of discounting, which at the time if my memory is accurate I lost 50% in less than two years on the verada).
